Christian Dior Couture Spring 2012

I feel like I have seen this before and perhaps better. I didn’t think it was the most cohesive collection, swinging as it did from referential fifties shapes, black roses and all, through nineties ladies who lunch, up to date with sheers over underwear, and back to full ballroom gowns. There wasn’t a spring lightness to them, with only three looks out of forty-one in a bright colour (red), this collection had a dullness to it .  The fashion press are saying that Bill Gaytten has laid down a marker for being considered a serious contender to replace Galliano and certainly he delivered a show where the workmanship was as amazing as ever but I would still be drawing up a short list.
