Christian Dior Fall 2010 Couture

Once again I was on the ever fabulous Style.com. In my explorations I found the Christian Dior Fall 2010 Couture Collection.  By now, everyone knows that I'm a color addict, so this collection up my ally. First off, there is a giant display of orange flowers at the top of the runway. In my book, that's a good way to start. The entire collection is bright and polished while still being funky. The first dress I want to look at is a great purple number.

I really like this dress because the cut of the neckline and the sleeve give it this really polished, traditional look. The texture of the skirt and the fabric really bring it into these times. It makes it fun and youthful. I love the pattern on the fabric and the color.

This dress looks like a modern day ballerina's outfit. It's totally fun and youthful. I love the volume of the skirt. I also really like the the "V" of the neckline. The pattern on the bodice makes it seem appropriate for a tea party.

The volume of this dress is part of what makes it so amazing. The burst of color on top of the black is amazing. Love the the colored section has a gradual fade to it. I really like the one shoulder cut of the bodice. It allows some skin to show which is great because there is a lot of dress. That orange belt adds another great splash of color. 

This entire collection was amazing. You can follow the link at the top to see the rest of it. It's a super fun collection. Fashion is all about fun and creativity. This collection embodies that well.

I do have to put in a disclaimer. This collection was designed by John Galliano.  Although I do love this collection, I do not support the inappropriate statements he made. I do support Dior's decision to let him go. I think its great that such a prestigious company that has had some much success with a designer stood by its principles.
