Monika “Jac” Jagaciak & Antonio Navas were photographed by Ellen von Unwerth for Dior Cruise 2012 campaign and lookbook. This is a wonderful resort collection of different images, however pictures have a little touch of “Guess” campaigns, but this campaign makes me definitely  wanting to head over to St. Tropez or the Bahamas for my next summer resort holiday! ;)

Christian Dior | Couture Fall 2011

I am so glad that Bill Gaytten strives under John Galliano's work as one of the most creative designer. His dream team:  Stephen Jones made all headpieces, Jeremy Healy was on beats, Michael Howells made the set design, Pat McGrath did the makeup, Orlando Pita the hair. And they do this not just because they love Bill but because they want to acknowledge the achievements of his fallen master.

On the evidence  of yesterday’s  July 4th first Dior couture show without John Galliano, was not greatly liked from his fans, but without any speculations, I would rather want to comment the couture collection.

I love all this pieces designed by Bill Gaytten and his team, the colours are so vibrant and every single colothing looks like a piece of art.

Istn’t it?

Breaking News | John Galliano Fired From Dior

In news that will surprise absolutely no one, Christian Dior has begun proceedings to terminate John Galliano's employment in the wake of two race-tinged!

Ever since his Central Saint Martin’s graduate show, Galliano has generated buzz—both for his wild persona and his fantastical runway shows. In addition to over a decade at the helm of Christian Dior, he has held fast to his eponymous label, which includes sunglasses and fragrance. With the renewal of his Dior contract, the John Galliano label is going under the LVMH umbrella, ensuring an even higher profile for the designer, whose era-juggling, sensibility-mixing collections keep him at the tip-top of high fashion.

Dior said in a statement Tuesday that it was beginning legal action to dismiss Mr. Galliano, the 50-year-old designer, whose romantic and theatrical fashion shows revitalized haute couture, following accusations of drunken anti-Semitic rants in Paris.

SEE THE COMPLETE VIDEO of THE SCANDAL! 

Feeling very sad that Galliano has to run out of Dior. We won't see those amazing haute couture shows designed by him anymore! :(

Christian Dior | Spring Couture 2011

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PARIS, January 24, 2011

John Galliano originally studied to be a fashion illustrator at Central Saint Martins. He'd even signed a contract for a job in Manhattan. Then the hand of fate turned his head to design. Oh, how different things might have been. For one thing, we'd never have gotten the Dior couture show we saw today.

Did you ever hear that Mr. John Galliano have studied to be a fashion illustrator at Central Saint Martins? But the destiny brought him to design. But you can notice his extraordinary skills for fashion design everytime when he presents Dior couture shows, like also for this year.

He opened the show in the forties and fifties style, where he added his imagination and passion in feminine aspirations.  He called it his most technically challenging collection, but the effort was rarely obvious. Opulently swagged tops and gowns bobbed and floated like billowing sails, look amazing. Dior's New Look was an obvious source point for skirts that flared from corseted waists or dropped pencil-thin to below the knee from rounded hips.

Where he made that hand-painting fabric in the simplest way, and achieved the desired result of the whole collection. Here are my favourite clothes of the Dior Spring Couture 2011 collection!
