Happy 60th Birthday, Dior

John Galliano upped the ante early this Fashion Week in anticipation of the 60th anniversary of the house of Dior. Glamour unseen and certainly unparalleled on the RTW Paris runways since the days of Yves Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche, feminine silhouettes, clear beautiful colors and materials like fur, ostrich, pythons and more fur in ultra refined daywear and sophisticated evening wear recalled the Hollywood sirens of years past. Galliano’s new direction is stunning and fabulous in every way….except one. These clothes are going to cost a bloody fortune. This was the most couture ready-to-wear we have seen in a couple of decades, and our eyes could not get enough — even with the 60 pieces (60 pieces for 60 years, get it?). Bravo, Galliano!
