Les Fleurs Galore with Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2010

Dear God,

Thank you for giving us the wonderful and oh so mighty John Galliano.
Thank you for filling his awesomeness brain with goodness we call "brain" and "creativity".
Thank you, John Galliano, I kowtow to you... because you made me cry when I saw your divine designs for Fall 2010 for the power fashion house Christian Dior.

The stage and runway was set. It was to be an explosion of flower power to behold.

John Galliano countered expectations and banished the usual perception of the standard Fall palette.

Are we going into Fall, not anymore, we have been pulled and swung into Spring/Summer with the vibrancy and fluffy florals!

Swishing over to my favourites with the ever so beautiful Jessica Stam leading the lovelies.

Love the soft bodice paired with flouncy bottoms. The left prints are definitely not Gram's curtains but a delightful and cleverly patterned piece, meant to be flattering for all. Oh and double love to the cute baby blue tutu! Reminds me of those paper flowers we used to make with tissue paper when we were kids.

WAH!!! I LOVE THE COLOURS!! I love the mix in materials and the little peek a boo brilliant orange peeking out of the soft peachy pink. Decadence mixed with chiffon fun.

Exploring different silhouettes? Agree, John Galliano re-inspires the potato sac look. Wearing mould suddenly becomes sexy!

These dresses reminds me of those little things we played with when we kids, those paper things where we twist and turn into a multitude of flowers... then we all tear them up in the end. LOL!!! I can totally imagine these ladies sha-shaying down the runway. What's better than sleeping on a bed of flowers - wearing a bed of flowers!! HELLO, BEES!

I love the return of womanly scent and silhouettes. I love how the hips are being emphasized and with the changes of the silhouette, it's no longer "Hello I can't eat for months now coz slinky dresses are in", it's the triumphant return of the big hips, smaller waist and did anyone notice how the belts are tied in a bow and the layering? Elegant, classic yet flirty. Running my eyes through the collection, I imagined ladies in their Sunday best at Hi-Tea with their white gloves and then having a major food fight and ending up with colourful splashes of psychedelic creams and juices on their besties. Who says Little Miss Prim and Proper can't have fun? It's time to uncross those legs and say "Whoopee yipee whoohoo!"

Sighhhh... In love, with you.
