Welcome to the Garden

The more I see of John Galliano’s fall 2011 haute couture show for Dior the deeper I fall in love.  Inspired by the flowers of Christian Dior’s childhood garden, the collection was brimming with vibrant floral shades and shapes.  Just look at the model’s bouquet-like cellophane wrapped heads!  The show kicked off Haute Couture week in Paris and was held at my very favorite Musee Rodin.  How I envy Galliano’s endless imagination. Bravo!

    I didn’t even have to get to the bottom to know who the designer was. By the time I got to the second pic (my fav) I was already going, “This has got to be …”

    Great pics, thanks for posting.

    Those are amazing! That first one looks like it came straight off your blog (exact same color scheme:) No wonder you’re attracted to it. Now… let’s wait and see which one of these dresses ends up on the red carpet. Rachel Zoe loves Galliano… maybe Anne Hathaway in that top one?

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

    I am truly in awe of this collection. I would love nothing more than to be able to wear any one of those pieces. The pansy (?) inspired dress is definitely my favorite. Wait… I lied. I love them all equally.

    I like a man in espadrilles. That tells me he is confident and comfortable.
