I wonder how much one of these peices would cost if you wanted to buy it! I think my entire university education would cost less!

Sorry to be the party pooper .. but if I had to describe this collection in one word it would be CONTRIVED. I mean take a look at almost all the pieces they all came directly from what the Egyptians wore (I mean where's the touch? ). Though he added some with modern day wear (suits, etc.) but you can say that's hardly innovative. The only touches I thought was brilliant was the hot grey suit (very innovative, I thought, mixing mummy bondage with a suit for today) and the mummy evening dresses (nice mix of mummy bodage and eveningwear), the details ofcourse and some gowns.

Rating: 6.0 (Out of 10); Has it's moments, but isn't strong.

It's called Chris 1947... and it is not new, Kylie.

I have seen that fragrance from a long time ago. Nothing new, the same L.E. sh*t. they all smell the same

I completely disagree. Dare I say it, I believe this is one of the best collections of Dior couture period. I think you can hold up these clothes with some of the work of Christian Dior himself. The craftmanship and detailing are obvious even to an untrained eye, but the innovation. WHO is doing Egyptian fashion right now? No one is even gesturing toward anything NEAR egyptian influences. And those gowns were couture gowns. Those were grand ball gowns or gowns you go to meet royalty in. Sure you had a Golden Globe or Oscar frock dancing about in there, but this collection spoke on so many different levels. And it is rare in today's couture for museum quality dresses to be turned out in such numbers. We will be talking about this collection for years to come.
