Sophisticated. Romantic. Glamour. Christian Dior Spring 2010

By Arriel Ginter

What an exciting season Spring is. Being the starting point of the New Year it’s the designers chance to influence all of the fashions to come. The collections debuted for 2010 left me amazed.

It also presented John Galliano’s genius once again. He has held the title of Creative Director for the fabulous Couture Fashion House, Christian Dior, for fourteen years now. Chic beauty comes to mind as the word Dior rolls off your tongue. Galliano translates that essence into each collection. For Spring’s 2010 Ready-to-Wear line it invoked that with sophisticated, romantic, glamour.

With the forties and lingerie as inspirations, flawless pieces came out. The silhouettes were all tailored to show the splendor of a woman’s figure. Even the trench coats tied at the waist to complement the red lipped models shapes. Lace and silk were used to capture the lingerie feel without being too overt. Sequins detailed several pieces for exquisite embellishments.  And we can’t forget the shoes. The platform peep toe pumps came in a color pallet coinciding with the collection. Each outfit captured the old Hollywood feel with a risqué classy touch.

I adored the whole collection and it’s in my favorites for the season. It was such a breath of fresh air from the rough Fall/Winter look. Now instead of being glamazons taking on the world in our gladiator, studded, ripped ensembles were going back to the light dainty feminine look. I can’t wait to see it transform from runway to fashionistas wardrobes.
