Dior Couture Spring 2011
Paris, January 24, 2011, John Galliano presents a beautifully stunning Christian Dior couture show. The show, a salute to Rene Gruau, who's illustrative work for Christian Dior in the 40's and 50's created the houses most iconic imagery, gave Galliano the opportunity to indulge his passion for true haute couture. Here are a couple of my favourite designs, I find Galliano's work completely mesmerizing, a couple of key details from the show are:
-Graphite smears, pencil strokes and scribbles.
-Flared skirts from corseted waists, inspired by the 'New Look'.
-Dropped pencil skirts to below the knee.
-The interplay of light and shade, dark pink contrasting with pale pink, embroidery only being used on one side of the fabric so it cast a subtle shadow.
-Ostrich feathers.
And my favourite:-
-Layers and layers of tulle.
All in all the show held everything your imagination could transpire, extravagance, spontaneity and sheer beauty.

Rihanna's Style
I have been having a look at a couple of Rihanna's looks over the past couple of months. I think the red hair has been a turning point in her style and her turned her into an icon. Here are a few of my favourite looks, I think she looks extremely sleek with long straight hair.
I'm also loving the bold colour combination which resembles the colour clashing trend of Spring/Summer 2011.

Blake's Look
After hearing about Blake's Chanel announcement, I've been having a look at a couple of her outfits, and have come to the conclusion that she looks stunning both dressed for occasion or casual in trousers and loose fit blouse. I really love the grey boyfriend blazer, a must have in any wardrobe.
