Dior Me
My love for John Galliano knows no bounds. He could literally poo out a collection and my eternal ember would burn for him (maybe not) His tenure at Christian Dior continues to take the collection to new heights and he is truly a master of fashion and haute couture. Plus how can you not A-D-O-R-E a man with a scrawny mustache and a Puss-in-Boots air about him.
His Spring 2009 collection was atypical in the sense that it didn’t delve into the Over the Top region that Galliano tends to live in. He kept his “Tribal Chic” (guffaws!) motif understated and decidedly not literal, focusing more on the skins and patterns to convey the tribalness. Some of the skirts were a bit sheer, not particularly retail-worthy, but when you see a Galliano for Dior show, does anyone truly expect wearability. However, the kicker is that this was maybe one of his most wearable collections (aside from his Spring 2007 show). He showed his mastery of explosive color and the shoes (gaga!) and proved hair can be as vertiginous as the heels atop idol statues.
In short (before I blow a gasket) this Dior collection was short (in hemlines as well) on class and regency and full on in youthfulness and vibrancy. Some critics blasted him for not taking it to it’s full force, but then will criticize that he is too over the top. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t Galliano. In my eyes you can do no wrong.

I have a thing against women supporting rooftops, now they’ve got to put a woman support a heel? Strange. Why don’t they just put a man for a change?
