Christian Dior S/S 2007 Haute Couture

Inspired by traditional Japanese garments, this collection reconfirmed Galliano’s unique talent to evoke beauty, sensitivity, narrative, and emotion in a fashion show. Kimonos, obis, and geisha makeup were Dior-ified, transformed into delicate translations of new look peplum suits and full-skirted dance dresses. Each look sprouted yet more miraculous planes of origami folding, their stiff geometries creating necklines like flowers or hovering birds. Every dress had an intense color and character of its own.

This has got to be my most favorite Dior collection ever. I still love it even though six years have passed since the show.
