CHRISTIAN DIOR

The tenth birthday of John Galliano at Dior aims an intimacy, as a return to the roots and to the unleashed imagination of its beginnings. The fashion designer does not just devote himself to a random exploration of the Japanese costume, he mixes details from the kimono with volumes of the 50’s dresses and suits : traditional Japanese socks and a jacket with bustles rocked far from the hips – a wink to Christian Dior’s most famous suit. The long-line bra dresses overflow with giant origami foldings. The embroideries evoke an exuberant Asian vegetation. The kimono imposes slowness and postures of geisha but still hides a very couture corsettery: the constraint is maximum. Faces with pearly complexion and coloured eyelids as birds charm us. A generosity expected more from John Galliano than from any other.
