Autumn Fashion 2011

The new haute couture season is starting in Paris and it happens especially with the presence of one of the most expected collections each year: Christian Dior. Once again, John Galliano has been in charge of designing this collection… and what a way to design! The Gibraltarian-British fashion designer has introduced a haute couture collection in its purest form, which is spectacular. That comes with a touch of showmanship and definitely, it sets a very high bar for the rest of fashion companies.
This time, Galliano has found inspiration in a recurrent topic related to the heritage of the French fashion house: The floral universe. Therefore, he can transform a Parisian catwalk into a sublime garden of flowers where some skirts pretend to be the flowers corolla and some tight jackets are positioned as if they were delicate leaves. This is an exercise of fineness, exquisite patterning, and fantasy.

Everything is allowed in this collection, including embossed skirts, ruffles, feathers… The same rule is true for the range of colors: An explosion of color that includes a wide variety of tonalities… more than you can imagine… ranging from ochre and yellow to red, blue, green, and purple.
