I have to agree with Blogdorf Goodman that it was a breath of fresh fashion air to see the Supermodels once again rocking the runway at John Galliano's Christian Dior Haute Couture collection (via Style.com). I too stopped my Vogue and Harper's Bazaar subscriptions because it was all about celebrities plugging their next movie. Linda Evangelista and the other fashion models just have presence. Fashion has lost it's glamour in the magazines but it was on full display with the ornate and exaggerated, over-the-top details Galliano created for the Christian Dior Haute Couture collection. Lots of ball gowns and dresses that were simply stunning. Some say Haute Couture is dead. I say, please no! Sure only a handful of select women could ever afford it but Haute Couture isn't about affordable fashion. It's design. It's style. It's art.
Here's to hoping we can see more of our favorite models Linda, Naomi, Amber, Shalom, Helena, and Karen on the cover of a fashion magazine soon. Or at the very least, a new wave of models will come (with personality) and re-inspire the fashion world again.
