What is a lavish lifestyle? Yeah, nowadays it's owning a huge mansion in Beverly Hills with five or six state of the art cars and overall owning all properties in huge sizes. Never mind those weekends at the beach house or traveling to an exotic hotspot around the world to ski or surf a couple of days. Well, John Galliano wipes all that out and takes us back to a time where horse back-riding, powdering your face and wearing extravagant gowns, coats and hats where the hottest things to do among the few European elite women. Inspired by these times, John Galliano manages to present a colorful collection catering from that actual elite society in every sense of the word. It is quite remarkable how he manages to transition from an opening piece representing the "fox-hunter" woman of the red fitted jacket, long skirt and tall black hat to the lavish "junon" white gown. Although these designs were certainly nothing coming unexpectedly, it was rather pleasing to see a continuation of his feminine designs that not only embrace a woman's glamour and elegance but also that sense of poise that is almost lost in these times of modernist designs. The array of colors truly remind us that this is a warmer season collection as the colors disperse into those of a flower bouquet. The combination of leather, sheer and other materials make for that extravagance known to Dior. Even though the white bootines were pleasing and wearable, it's actually the shoes made of lace that take that pizzazz moment as they asymmetrically make their way around and add to that elegance previously discussed. It's obvious that the term fabulous has lost its own meaning and has gone from being something splendid to something rather bland. Yet here's a reminder of what not only is splendid and grand but absolutely fabulous in every sense of the word.
