Christian Dior Ready to Wear/Pret-a-Porter Fall/Winter 2007-2008 FW 07-08: Grand & Glamorous

Grand & Glamorous:
Christian Dior Ready to Wear/Pret-a-Porter Fall/Winter 2007-2008 FW 07-08

Stratospherically grand and outrageously glamorous, Big Daddy John Galliano definitely upped the prêt-a-porte ante with his latest collection for Christian Dior. When the pictures came in, I found myself ask the $64 million dollar question – IS THIS READY TO WEAR?

I love Christian Dior. I really do. But I’m kinda torn with this collection.

There’s just WAYYYY too much "lady-like" dressing.

Where are the clothes that one can wear during the day? All I see are beautiful jackets, coats, dresses, dresses, dresses, dresses and even more extravagant dresses. He definitely went overboard with sophistication and elegance. A few of the pieces look as if they are an extension of haute couture.

The diverse and vivid use of colour is brilliant.

The hats and headpieces are just mind-blowing though I’m not too keen on the Asian-style/vietnam farmer whatever pieces.

I also love the emphasis of fur in the arms.

The shoes, as always, are sky-high and the handbags are supremely lady-like.

This is my favourite jacket. GORGEOUS!

Here’s the entire collection…

-"Stunning! I agree, Galliano has upped the ante. None of the other collections even come near what he's accomplished. Brava! "

-"ah yes good ostrich coat.. of course unless you're kate moss/karan elson/anyhotmodelthing you'd look like an ass wearing it in public. "

-"as much as i think that galliano is a design god(dess)...and i totally would wear that orange pleated cocktail number with the orchid-like appendages on the bottom...god, am such a tranny...this is soooooo not pret-a-porter....this is demi-couture...none of these pieces are easily marketable...all fabulous but totally inapropro for the target demo... and Daria's outfit looks cheap...no??? i would personally like to have seen her in the soft pink one-shoulder bejeweled frock instead of that over-tulled fuschia ballgown the bags are fabulous...he may have borrowed inspration from Boucheron, not to mention Gucci, for the snake hardware. the shoes are absolutely fabulous and i have nothing bad to say about them...except they're chunky as hell and as for the voluminous coats, they are so undeniably from the archives of Balenciaga...Ghesquierre must be fuming mad!!!

-"You guys know that, only 80% of entire collection will be sold right? Same goes to Victor & Rolf... Only 80% of the collection hits the store shelf. I do agree that this collection has mere element from Haute Couture however, if you break down the outfits into garments.. majority of them can be woren :-) CD has a lot of money which they get them from shoes and bags.. so think this garments are more... experiental pieces? Show-ponies? Something John whipped it up in 5days! "

-"I think John is absolutely wonderful. I could see myself rockin' a couple of these dresses. Bryan, you could rock one of the fabulous pairs of heels or the handbags. I think John went somewhere else on this collection. The Color, the shapes, the fabrics. I'm lovin'dude okay! "
