Seriously!? Squeeee!!!!!!!!!!!


July 2nd.....17 days left! Woohoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Salvatore]

I am betting it will be a slow paced show with lots of posing because goodness knows Linda E. is very bad walker in these days. A collection centered around Atlantis would be very interesting!

i got an invite nanananaaaaaaaa

 

[casaanova]

^What??? No way. I am so jealous. This collection is going to be amazing. Can't wait.

 

[ibimus]

Scwhat!?!?!

Okay. I'm very small. I could probably fit in a large handbag. Please?


But can I ask, how on earth did you get an invitation?

 

[Salvatore]

Can you scan it? I wanna see if I can figure out what the show will be about!

you MUST MUST MUST take some recording device and upload what you recorded on youtube.com as soon as you get home from the show!!!!!!!! We can't wait several days for a video to show up on dior.com!!!!

and, I, too, am wondering how you got an invite!!!

 

[sfcupatea]

Wanna fly to Paris with me Salvatore and try to crash into the show?

Betcha it'll be a Once in a Lifetime experience!

I'll fly with you if you pay for my flight! I might be able to get us in! NO JOKE! It's a small world...

Even though I'm skeptical about this newly released info regarding the inspiration, I do hope that it isn't the case because that seems so utterly cheesy.

 

[eternitygoddess]

^And marine-theme doesn't fit too well with Versailles.

Careful. Some dozen people might be headed your way with bats.

 

[sfcupatea]

Dior confirm..

There you go spikey, it's confirmed... so it says..

 

[dior_couture1245]

^^ confirmed by who? where?

Even though I'm skeptical about this newly released info regarding the inspiration, I do hope that it isn't the case because that seems so utterly cheesy.

It could go either way, really (although, either way, I'll still love it, I'm sure, cheesy OR not!). It'd be cheesy if John took it in a bubbly, bright colored underwater direction, as if it were Disney's The Little Mermaid gone Haute Couture....or....he could do it in a more sophisticated, darker underwater way, a la Bjork's "Medulla" video, also kind of like Givenchy Haute Couture SS 07, which inspiration was also mermaids (although it won't be similar in the slightest, I'm sure). I'm expecting great things with this show and theme. I'd love to see some amazing sequinned and embroidered mermaid dresses made to look like corral or sea foam...with the model's hair dripping wet with runny mascara. It should be awesome.

a little this plus this and this-

And about the comment regarding the nautical theme not fitting Versaille...well, neither did the Matrix themed show he did there a few years back, either! It'd be too cliche for John to do Marie Antoinette at Versailles.

We don't want might. We want can.
And I would love if John approached it in the way of Greco-Romano style. It's something he has not really touched ever!

Everything is a 'might' in this industry until the show has begun! Besides, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Street_a_Licious - so bug out!

omg i cant wait!

I'm going along with him

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Sounds exciting,i am sure John will make it totally his own.

 

[Diorling]

Eek, aquatic inspired? This could be really cheesy and tragic...I hope not.
