Dior Fall 2007 Couture

Loved loved loved Dior’s Couture collection!! And I really loved that Galliano used old time models like Naomi, Shalom, Amber, Linda and Karen that I used to work with when I was young (oh! I did not just call these girls old!!), although I never actually worked with Linda but I wish I had. When I say worked with them, I meant that I brought coffee and took Polaroids of them, and held Naomi’s white fur coat while she was being fitted so that it didn’t touch anything (other than my grubby hands of course). It’s funny how they claim to be the same age as me now but when I worked with them, they were definitely older. I guess their math is as good as mine. We still love them no matter their age, they look amazing, partly from the fact that Galliano, as Christian Dior did, loves women and knows how to accentuate all our fabulous parts. This is the 60th Anniversary of the House of Dior and Galliano showed restraint and respect to the man who revolutionized the way women dressed. The show was theatrical as always but was romantic and genuine instead of outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I always fantasized about the days when women dressed up, I mean really dressed up like Marie Antoinette, and although I don’t see myself veering from daily my t-shirt and jeans routine (I was on my way to a daytime wedding and stopped by Starbucks in my floor length gown, hair all done, makeup not exactly meant for harsh lighting and everyone stared at me like I was nuts. Imagine any of these gowns in that scenario), there are those occasion where Dior or Chanel Couture would come in handy.
