I am crazy about the Dior couture collection. OK the other designs are a tad too Japanese geisha for my liking but still, the techniques that went into the tailoring of the costumes are awesome. The most extravagant couture, is after all, unwearable and a work of art. And works of art these two are. I cannot begin to comprehend the mastery that went into the creation of these masterpieces.

Precisely fold fabric sewn into clean sharp lines…..

The perfect layers of the garnet skirting…

The final structure falling seamlessly into shape and moving fluidly with the model’s body.. The overall styling of the collection is absolutely stunning and arresting, these two being my favourite of the entire collection.

John Galliano is an absolute genius.

Oh, and how could I forget this? This would be the favouritest of my favouritest…
