Bill Gaytten stepped in as Creative Director of the Fall-Winter 2011-12 Dior Couture collection making it the first sans John Galliano and of course, John’s presence was missed. Rumor is Gaytten channeled sad clowns as his inspiration and fashion critics have been probing this collection since it hit the runway. What do you think? Is it a total fashion fail? Check out the Spring 2011 couture collection by Galliano and judge the difference yourself. Does Dior need to rehire it’s fallen designer? SEE ENTIRE COLLECTION
Lebanese designer Elie Saab unveils another couture collection for the fashion-obssessed to fawn over. For his latest collection Saab created more figure-flattering, embellished gowns which absolutely solidify his title as Hollywood’s dress king. While some take jabs at him because he’s super consistent, we think he knows what he’s doing. Saab is almost too talented at what he does, so why would he need to take risks? We like the classic shape he utilizes and in all honesty it’s nice that he doesn’t have to put a multicolored bubble dress on a model wearing flatforms to get buzz. SEE ENTIRE COLLECTION
If we were inside Karl Lagerfeld‘s head, we’d presume he was inspired by a ton of old Film Noir movies for this Fall-Winter 2011-12 Chanel couture collection. The Coco-inspired tweed suits were a staple in this collection per usual but some were executed differently with a bell silhouette and show-stoppers included the magenta pieces and sheer floor-length gowns.
