i went nuts this morning. absolutely bonkers. can i just say...... john galliano IS A GENIUS. the new images for his couture line for dior were up this morning and anyone within earshot or cell range was requested to stop whatever they were doing at the moment and look HERE. i have not felt so ecstatic as i did this morning in a long time.
basically, couture is the most amazing exclusive form of fashion ever (to the uninitiated or unimaginative, probably crazy....)
there are artisans and craftspeople that are a dying breed that make these pieces of thing that might be worn just one for really rich people who go to paris, get muslin comps made, and refitted within the week (meaning you stay in paris for a little bit white you get fit for your 120,000 dollar gown.). here is my favorite excerpt- the pattern on the skirt is actually created from white sequins with black glass seed beads embroidered on silk. never mind the color... whew.
from far away:
so, then your gown arrives in a big crate (if it's a big gown- there are some in this collection that would need that, which is utterly delightful) at your house. and, as i understand it, two ladies in one major metropolitan area will not be allowed by some houses to have the same dress. i just want to touch one. and this, dear reader, is galliano's best collection in years. brilliant. bravo. thank you.
i will just add, that in my wildest dreams, i'd be making paintings for john galliano. just puttin it out there.
