Oh. My. God. Galliano, you dead seriously outdid yourself with this one. Absolutely everything about the 2011 Couture Collection oozed the sophistication and glamour stimulated from New Look and the early 1950's which I think many designer's have lost throughout the years. The entire collection, inspired by René Gruau, a longtime partner of Dior's and one of my favorite illustrators, is STUNNING. The color pallate was done to mimick a gouache practice; (a.k.a. paint suspended in water for a heavier watercolor effect) and can be seen throughout the looks by the ombre detailing within certian pieces. The second Karlie Kloss opened the show (met her, love her) in a gorgeous red coat it was game over: I'm sold. From start to finish, the show was incredible. Let's just hope one day I'll be able to see it in person. Au Revoir!
