Retrospective: Christian Lacroix Haute Couture 2/11: S/S 2006

How I wish the rumor Christian Lacroix would replace Galliano at Dior would come true. He would be the only halfway-worthy successor. (Don`t get your hopes up they "almost denied" it by saying they might go for "a lesser known designer"...)



Isn`t it amazing how Lacroix combines opulence and tenderness!?! I love the femininity & lightness of the dresses.

Words are not enough to describe how much I LOVE this collection!

It is amazing how Galliano translated the passion, the faith, the matyrdom and the madness of the french revolution into colours and cuts. This is one of the few collections that makes the human being in the dress almost disapear and is all about it`s meaning - just like the French Revolution that lost all humanity in the violent fight for it`s ideals.

As always in Galliano`s work, I`m stunned and thrilled about the details; Raquel`s bloody pearls, the bloody shoes and pants, the asymmetric corset and the variety of drapes and cuts.

Oh Dior just can`t let this GENIOUS go!
