Christian Dior found the inspiration for his latest collection in one of the most
exquisite eras of haute couture, the 1940's and 50's, and even more specifically his
inspiration draws from the creative world of René Gruau's fashion illustrations.
Galliano, took some of the key pieces of that era, and transposes them into the modern world: the pleated skirts, the corseted waists, the pencil-thin skirts alongside the fabulous 40's inspired hair style, putting together a classic, simple yet sophisticated look. Superficially looking through this collection, it's easy to think of it as 'nothing special', however, for the rest of us, starving for art and perfection, looking for beauty and ready to take in every inch of every work of art put forth on the catwalk, the details of Galliano's collection speak for themselves. For us, the seven layers of tulle used to create the right depth of dégradé'; the embroidery, carefully places on one side of the fabric in order to create a subtle shadow; the Ostrich feathers, creating subtle ink traces on the ball gowns; the pencil lines in sequins as well as the exquisite head pieces, make us skip a heartbeat. For us, true beauty is in the details and as such Christian Dior's latest haute couture collection is nothing less than the perfect embodiment of perfection.
