Christian Dior, among labels that kick started the week, presented a spring collection deemed to be as its best in the last 10 years. As usual, the attention-grabbing show once again made everybody goes ‘wow’, plus lots of eagerness from the front up to back rows.
Indeed, John Galliano’s upcoming collection has never been disappointing at all, allowing everyone at the show to pull a deep breath of sigh and relief. Phew!!!
Harking back to the glorious 80’s (I know this is redundant but if you still don’t know, that is what current fashion state looks like), Galliano drew his references from celebrated French couturiers and designers of the Eighties namely Azzedine Alaïa, Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier.
Away from his usual and world-famous eccentricity, the spring/summer 2009 collection could be considered as moderate and safe with yards of lush fabrics, either plain or printed, were liberally used in the making.

There’s one tiered with matte printed fabric atop one another (think of Lanvin’s fall/winter 08 grosgrain ribbon dresses), another gets a pleat treatment and matched with a peplumed bustier with halter strap in python print, and so much more.
On the colour ways, Galliano smartly mixed black, which is always the predominant hue in his collection, with an array of Day-Glo hues ranging from shocking pink to fluorescent orange! But as the theme (80’s) suggest and being part of Galliano’s tradition when it comes to ready-to-wear and accessories, animal prints are never forgotten.
Oozing that tribal chic mood, one can expect to a plethora of reptile prints as well as that timeless Giraffe spots on clothing, scandalous bags, and sexy shoes.

Imposing classic corset like structure on the bodice with sheer elongated chiffon skirt draped around the waist, they will be the ultimate sellout for next season! Furthermore, Galliano also has omitted a little bit of that impeccably meticulous couture approach from the collection, thus making them comfortable and simple.
Christian Dior’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection will be available at all Dior boutiques and selected multi-brand retailers early next year.
