An End Has A Start
Christian Dior, Fall 2011
This has obviously been a controversial season for Dior. The heartbreaking news of John Galliano’s vile actions was a hit to the entire fashion community, and the rumor mill has been churning out quite the list of possible replacements. Galliano was always an innovator in fashion, creativity, and style, and Dior will definitely be a different place once a successor is named.
Galliano’s final collection left me with mixed feelings. To be honest, I didn’t love the whole thing. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as overall cohesive and exciting as his past collections. Luckily the accessories were stellar as always (those shoes!!), and the last batch of gorgeous dresses stole the show. An extension of the Couture collection, the frothy pastel gowns floated down the runway and reminded everyone why Dior is so great. The final bow of the Dior design team was the perfect high note to this otherwise sad farewell, and gave the somber occasion a silver lining. It’s sad to see Galliano go, especially under these circumstances, but in the words of The Editors, even an end has a start.
