It is my humble opinion that no one does couture better than John Galliano for Dior. He knows how to bring drama and pageantry which is what couture is all about! As an illustration major at Central Saint Martins School in London, John was ready to accept a graphic design job in New York. Luckily for us, he turned to design. This 2011 collection was inspired by Rene Gruau, a famous illustrator for Dior during the '40's and '50's, John's favorite decades. Dior's atelier, always produces exquisite fabrics and embellishments. The construction of these garments is beyond the realm of anything I can imagine building myself!
