I'm in love with the resort collection from
Christian Dior. Elegant retro refinement is the inspiration. This collection makes me want to polish up my look. I love everything about it, the leopard print, the hats, the fit of the suits, the sunglasses....oh my! Inspired from Christian Dior's muse in the 1950's, Mitzah Bricard, John Galliano based the collection on her favorite shade of lilac, and her delight in wearing pearls and leopard print. In Christian Dior's autobiography,
Christian Dior and I, he wrote, "[Mitzah] Bricard is one of those people, increasingly rare, who make elegance their sole reason for being." That in itself is inspiring!

I nearly died when I saw the Christian Dior Spring 2010 RTW collection shown in Paris earlier this month. Inspired by my favorite loves... film noir, lingerie, and femme fatales... you can see why! Galliano was specifically inspired by Lauren Bacall (image above) and it showed on the runway where the models wore Bacall hair and a serious face. Here are some of my favorite looks from the collection.
