Christian Dior F/W 10.11 Paris

[ohmydays]

Am I the only one who doesn't like this collection? It looks like a mess to me...

no, i hate most of it so far...it's just so casual, there's no glamour

 

[Chiara 92]

I'm liking it so far!!
Can't wait to see the full show!

 

[.Simone.]

There are some really great pieces. I especially love the boots and the shoes.

someone the damn photos up!

 

[KhaoticKharma]

I don't hate it.

It's kind of as though the last two years or so haven't happened though... it doesn't look anything like the last few collections, but everything like the Dior of a few years ago. Not saying that's a bad thing.

 

[LolaSvelt]

All I'm thinking is poor Marion Cotillard! She already had trouble finding decent outfits from the last collection! She shouldn't have signed that contract.

 

[Moofins]

I actually really enjoy it. It's so pretty and flowy. I really like the boots and the fabric combinations...It's really lovely to me.

 

[Spike413]

This doesn't blow, yet.

Omg Loooooove

Hilary Alexander for the Daily Telegraph:

In his element, designer John Galliano plunged into the wardrobe of the 2nd Earl of Rochester

The lusty, 17th century libertine, the 2nd Earl of Rochester, and more than a handful of his semi-clad courtesans, inspired the swashbuckling and romantic collection John Galliano showed for Christian Dior at the Paris prêt-à- porter season.

The British-born Galliano was in his element, plundering the wardrobe of the debauched aristocrat and bawdy poet, once the toast of England’s “Restoration Court”, as interpreted by Johnny Depp, in the 2004 movie, “The Libertine”.

The hats, incidentally, designed by London’s Stephen Jones, appeared to owe more to Depp’s more recent role as the Mad-Hatter, in Alice in Wonderland.

The collection, for next autumn/winter 2010/11, evolved from Galliano’s Haute Couture show for Dior, shown in January, but, with its stable boy-references, played fast and loose with that collection’s hunting and “dressage” theme.

This was more "un-dressage”, as libertine met lingerie in a fantastical parade of romance and retro. The most covetable frock-coats since Beau Brummell, in leather and suede, trimmed with fur, topped negligee-dresses in pastel silk-chiffon, brimming over with lace and flounces, and accessorised with over-the-knee cavalier-boots.

Cavalry, hacking and dressage jackets came with taut jodhpurs, and flounced, silk “poet” shirts. The collection turned the basic cardigan into an “Affair to Remember”, as knits appeared in cream cashmere interwoven with lace, silken ribbons, bows and flourishes of fur.
The French Minister of Finance, Christine Lagarde, and the actress, Charlize Thereon, were among the front-row line-up applauding as Galliano’s “little libertines” made the final catwalk parade.
Galliano took his bow, dressed like Rochester himself, in a chiffon poet’s shirt, and suede jodhpurs tucked into riding boots, equipped with silver spurts.
“I got them in London,” said Galliano. “They’re mine!,” insisted Charlize Thereon, looking a feminine match for the designer in silken lace, jodhpurs and boots.

I wanna see it in order from the first look to the last, but already I think this is my favorite Dior collection in a long time.

[JordanB]

The collection is actually much better than previous ready to wear collections. I actually quite like it thus far.

 

[Mr-Dale]

I think he turned it up actually

 

[Katnani]

When I went through this thread I was expecting hideous. Surprisingly, it's NOT hideous, some pieces surprised me as being awesome! It was good to see Galliano doing something different, for a change. Still, this is not quite...good...A little too messy for my own taste... But one of the best he's done lately!

 

[Running River]

I Love It!
Very wearable, the shoes and leather vests and coats with perforation ARE TO Die For.
Very classic dior by galliano style.
Work well done.
