Clothes Models Shows Christian Dior - Fashion

A whole new genre

October 2nd 2007 10:20

Galliano's last catwalk show for his own label was brash brazen bordehlo but this season for Dior he's shifted from the door-jambs of Paris to the silver-screens of Hollywood, invoking screen sirens and sirs across eras, genders and genres.

Parts of the collection were pure 40s vamp, a kind of seduction based not just on skin but on sultry personas, animal prints and coiffed hair.

Gender bender

Others invoked Gatsby, playing with the styles and shapes of suiting, silhouetting the feminine within the masculine.

Darling Daisy

And Daisy with the dropped waists, pastels and nonchalance.

Gemma the chameleon

There was Marlene Dietrich, portrayed by Australia's Gemma Ward, with stained lips, layered textures and a powerful presence.

Sinister, no?

And then something of A Clockwork Orange in these oversize bowler hats, something sinister in the gait and expression.

Galliano's brilliance, irreverance and steadfastness to couture ensure his place at the pinnacle of international fashion, not to mention his ability to turn out two of the most innovative collections every season, one under his name and another for one of the stalwarts of French fashion..

J'adore Dior

July 20th 2007 08:20

I realise I’m running a little behind the couture shows but I am grasping the moment because, as the title indicates, my infatuation with Dior continues, exacerbated by Galliano’s recent designs for their couture show.

Couture is the aesthetic height of the fashion industry epitomising Oscar Wilde’s motto: “art for art’s sake”. Certainly some of the dresses are sold but couture is a millstone round the ankle of fashion houses as far as profit is concerned.

It's all in the gams: Jessica Stam

June 7th 2007 00:42

One of the most striking models of the contemporary brat pack is Jessica Stam, a statuesque Canadian who has the kind of natural physique required for catwalk shows. She is indeed long and slender but there is nothing painful about the proportions of her legs or the position of her clavicle. My general rule is that if the knee is wider than the thigh there’s a problem but Stam is in proportion as you can see from the Stella McCartney show.
