Christian Dior Spring/ Summer 2011 Haute Couture Collection presented during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week was simply mesmerizing.

Designer John Galliano took inspiration from renowned illustrator, René Gruau, the British couturier and came up with collection that brought 40s Glamor on the runway.

Show opened with American model, Karlie Kloss stepping on runway in a dramatic red-to-black tulle coat, accessorized with red ‘paper’ eyebrows.

Then came a slew of models in peplum jackets, nipped-in waists, airy hats, decadent masks, slim-fitting pencil skirts along with a slick 1940s hairstyles and and bold makeup.

Just like Alexis Mabille Spring 2011 Couture Collection and Armani Prive Spring 2011 Couture show, Christian Dior Haute Couture show was magical.

It flaunted many red carpet worthy dresses like magnificent skirts and highly decorative ball gowns that were illustrative and effortlessly refined. Suit with crystal, sequin and sheer fabric detailing was also a nice twist.

Color flowed from soft greys, blues, strong reds and black to flesh and more pastel palette. Giving it a more forties touch were models’ hair styled in curled updos and their glossy lips.

Talking about Christian Dior haute couture skirts, there were narrow pencil skirts as well as voluminous skirts with layer upon layer of cappuccino, pale blue or pink tulle. Accessories like wide belts of alligator or crocodile, feathered headdresses were chic.
