This is fashion at its most sublime. One of the most anticipated events was the Christian Dior show which took place yesterday, January 24. With John Galliano at the helm (he originally studied to be a fashion illustrator and the influence was obvious) red, black, gold and pastel colours were beautifully displayed.

The editor of UK Vogue said the show was ‘a tribute to the Dior of Rene Gruau whose illustrations have been exhibited at Somerset House recently’.
Model du jour Joan Smalls (she is going to be huge this year) looked stunning on the catwalk and the ballet trend (Black Swan is a box office and fashion hit) was seen in full skirts with multiple layers of cappuccino, pale blue and pink tulle.

These aren’t clothes to wear just anywhere so we’ll have to wait and see how Galliano translates them into ‘real clothes’ at Dior’s ready-to-wear show in March.
