I think John Galliano was inspired by wedding cakes when he designed this collection. There is so much light, fluffy, poofy, pretty gowns that it just reminds me of wedding cakes. The dresses are so delicious looking I want to EAT them.

It’s also a lot of old world glamour with a really modern twist. And I mean really old world. Victorian era-evoking dresses and romantic patterns. Though not ALL the dresses were floor-length, of course, yet it all resembled a really, un-sporty sense of femininity.

The shorter dresses were like 50s silhouettes, and lots of ribbons, bows and giant hats went up and down the Christian Dior runway as well.

One interesting feature in some of the dresses was this sort of ribboning effect along the bottom edges of the skirts. It creates a really flirty, fun and quirky look. The collection is precisely what couture is supposed to be. It is something really novel, and introduces very new ideas for fashion.
