Maybe it is b/c I've been so disappointed and bored by the last few Dior collections but I think this is pretty good! No, the shapes aren't new and flowers seems like a cop-out, easy source of inspiration but....this is pretty! I love the colors, even the clashing ones, and at least this is much more interesting than what John has been doing recently. They DO look like blooming flowers and with some different styling I can see many of these pieces on the red carpet. I think it is a baby step in the right direction back to Galliano's glory Dior days!
