This season, JG (Our pet name of affection, shall we?) turned his extraordinary radar down ... almost three notches. All we can say for this collection is we L O V E it! The uber classic 1930s men style for the ladies. This includes trench coats, pinstriped tailored trousers, fedora hats and blazers, in black and white - to capture the old-fashioned movie epic.

Don't go yawning yet, my dear fashionistas. JG isn't going to fail you with such boring details. Introducing adorably cute tea party dresses adorned with chunky ornates, worn on the shoulders, hips or hair. We noted that those dresses are in our favourite blue hue, makes it all the better!

Then came the other party girl. No longer the sugar-coated innocent girl but the olden Pussycat Doll, when furs and diamonds are a girl's best friend (they still are, actually). We love how JG managed to capture Marlene Dietrich and Marilyn Monroe in his designs. So flirtatious and sexy. Our personal favourite from this batch would be the fur collar coat draped over a brown dress with fancy details at the hems.


It slowly brings us to the leopard batch where that symbol of older days lux were imprinted on coats and hats. Of course, it has to be just the fabric. Not the real deal, otherwise picket fences will start parading in JG's next fashion show ... Right?


The show ended slowly with the elegance of the 1930s femme of long gowns and lingerie look-alike dresses. Silk, "newspaper boy" caps, fedoras and the use of another fur coat accessorized those lovelies for their best.



So there you have it. A review of Christian Dior's Spring 2008 Collection, masterminded by John Galliano.
