John Galiano showcased his Christian Dior resort collection in Shanghai yesterday and apart from the odd dress, two of my favourites shown below, the overall collection was a sweet but sickly mess. To be honest, I though it looked cheap and although through the power of photography, it's difficult to see the workmanship that has gone into creating the garments, for me the overall look was inconsistent (Sugar coloured ball gown dresses next to Inspector Morse style jackets and a leather short suit). I usually love Galiano's work, although I sometimes feel that his own collections starts to drift into his work for Dior. When I spotted this pink, ruffled floor length gown my first reaction was, is that girl actually a model? And secondly, it reminded me of a Cupcake Doll, you know the rubber dolls that smelt of perfume and turned inside out. Draw your own comparison...
These were my two favourite dresses of the collection...actually the only two. Sorry John.
