Christian Dior Meets Couture

8842924263?profile=originalThat's So New YorkWhat Christian Dior does best is work with fabrics and textures to make the most exquisite outfit you’ve ever seen. Anyone in the fashion industry knows the name Dior and can instantly conjure up a mental montage of their favorite pieces from the past variety of never-forgettable collections. I, for one love the way Dior brings back classic looks, stays true to his vision and still manages to surprise his clients, fans, critics and followers. Plus, Dior knows how to fit his clothes to a woman’s body giving them the fit they need and the look they desire. In Dior’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection, you will see many looks from the 21st century to the 1940s, both decades mixed together and back again. But without the nod to the past, Dior can still show the world what class looks like.

Poofy, pleated skirts were one of the many looks that stood out for me. Of course, the cinched waist with an unbelievably beautiful white jagged edge belt, paired with the soft pleats from the skirt made me look twice. Then, what caused me to literally stare at this look was the bodacious jacket with tulle overlay featuring embellished and exaggerated shoulders on the sleeves as well as a flattering, v-neck line in a beautiful burnt orange. Another look featured a bright red pleated skirt paired with a beautifully crafted black, grey and white jacket with tulle overlay, belted. And you know the look was not complete without the ever-so-signature satin gloves in a variety of classic colors like black, brown and red. To view the collection visit Dior or shop at the streams of Dior boutiques throughout New York and worldwide for Dior’s ready-to-wear looks.
