Spring 2011: Dior Couture

John Galliano knows how to do that 40's-50's era so well. The contrast of a woman dressed in the softest pastels, with a face so sharply defined it could put Joan Crawford to the test! For me the most exciting item from this show was that blue hat. It is abstractly bird like, but at the same time it really does look like someone just drew it on top of her head and gently washed it with water colors. Amazing! I also had to throw this yellow strapless number in there. Nobody does classic couture like Dior.

Oooooo...

Must try this makeup look immediately!

Now, it's no secret I love everything equestrian. I mean, Hello! I named my business Dark Pony, that's commitment. Equestrian chic will not be exempt from this fall/winter fashion season. August brings back to school and an end to summer. These are just a few of my favorites for those frosty mornings that are right around the bend.

Gasp! in the Garden...

Ahhh couture season...the fantasy and the fluff. This collection from Christian Dior as designed by one of my favorites, John Galliano, is in no way an abstract story. In fact it is a straight forward statement: beauty. Woman as a flower.  A classic theme with a modern twist. The colors are mind blowing...here are my favorites:

Old Money-High Style: DIOR Couture 2010

I am such a sucker for anything John Galliano. In my opinion he is a genius and he knows how to pile on the glam sky high. In this collection he featured so many of my favorite elements: equestrian, veiling, top hats, spats, lace, tear drop crystals, volume, and of course color! Here are my favorites:

 

Oh to have that hat!

 

The craftsmanship of this dress is amazing

This was my favorite makeup look of the show...perfection!

High Brow=No Brow

There's nothing that screams high fashion like the no-eyebrow look. I love pairing it with heavy eyes and nude lips. Looks great with platinum blonde hair and a drop dead dress. Here are a few of my favorite looks:

Fit for A Queen

The craftsmanship, attention to detail, construction, and concept are outta control! It makes my head spin just trying to imagine putting these amazing garments together. This is truly old school haute couture. Viva la inspiration!
