I just loved Donatella's inspiration for this season's collection!
And I love the collection even more!
I was planning to do few graphics with looks from the newest show, but unfortunately I got too busy with school this week (and probably next week as well) so I will just post the one I made.

Dress, Hair and Shoes are made by me!

Christian Dior Spring 2010

FOLLOW BLOG ---->


I will post whole collection as soon as I find it.
The Dior show started at 2:30 (well 3:00 if you count being late) and ended around 4:00.
I tried to find whole collection but unfortunately that didn't work out very well :P
Well anyway, I have few pics of the amazing collection, plus a review by Hilary Alexander, Fashion Director at Paris Fashion Week.



"The theme was ‘film noir’. The models were made-up and coiffed like Lauren Bacall. And the designer, John Galliano, took his bow in a trench-coat and Homberg, a la Bogart, accessorised with a pair of black-and-white spotted pyjama pants.

But the message at Christian Dior this afternoon was very definitely taken straight from the underwear drawer."

She also says:

"Backstage, Galliano revealed the undercover secret: all the underwear was actually built-in, making getting dressed a one-step operation for those willing to pay for such an expensive close-up.

Galliano said he had originally been inspired by archive photographs of Bacall and Bogart, in the front row at Christian Dior shows.

“She was a regular client of M. Dior and I loved the idea of taking that 1940s Hollywood glamour and making it more contemporary. And I liked the idea of the link between film as an illusion and the illusion of undressed dresses.”

Some of the celebrities sitting in front row were Bruce Willis, his wife Emma Heming, the always gorgeous Rihanna and of course Dita Von Teese.
