Dior Couture
by admin - January 28th, 2009
Christian Dior’s 2009 couture line definitely does not disappoint, not in the slightest. At the onset, if you are just browsing through pictures of his couture collection, it may initially strike you as a bit boring. It struck me that way, until I started to take a close up look at the story he is attempting to tell. That is one thing for which we can all thank Project Runway: if you’ve watched at least a few episodes, then you know that fashion tells a story. Every outfit in a collection is like a puzzle piece; seen together, the entire line gives you the full tale.
But anyway! Unless you are a veritable fashion expert with an inside line to the designer, most of those stories are a matter of interpretation. My take on the one Dior is telling with his couture line is quite simple. Dior is taking us back to innocence. His couture line is entirely black and white. Some outfits are solid white, some solid black, some patterned. Whether dresses, skirts and shirts, or tops and pants, through silhouette and design, there is a little bit of flirty flapper dress, beguiling baby doll dress, and enchanting wedding gown.
