Dear Dior

Posted by jitterbugbaby in Christian Dior Shoes, Fall 2008 Shoes, Fashion Week, John Galliano Shoes

My love for John Galliano has been well documented on this blog.  It is eternal and undying.

And it is here in full force again for his Fall 2008 Dior Couture collection from the Paris runways.

How can you not love the dramatic bravura of clothing like this?

The shoes are just as dramatic, though I don’t find them as beautiful as some of his other footwear creations have been in the past, and I don’t think their creativity is at the same level as the clothing in this collection.

But I’ll let you be the judge.

Paris By Way of Byzantium

Only in the fabulously over the top world of John Galliano would outfits accessorized with things like GIANT Regency-reminiscent bonnets and Napoleon hats that look like they’ve come off a child’s pot holder loom be part of a ready-to-wear show and not a couture one.

But yes, the clothes of Galliano’s Fall 08 collection are indeed wearable (it’s all relative, of course–don’t expect these styles to be showing up in a Banana Republic near you). The audience was treated to a Pasha-like experience complete with models in harem pants and a runway decorated like a gold lame pleasure palace.

And oh, the shoes were gorgeous.
