After a tumultuous year for design house Dior, Gaytten’s haute couture collection was a sigh of relief. A true nod to Mr. Dior himself, the collection was ethereal and oozingly feminine. Though a bit less emotional than Galliano’s creations, I appreciated the adherence to technical construction which was shown through sheer fabrics- all layers and underpinnings exposed. Some people may argue that the collection was too “safe” and “irrelevant”, but I think it was a much needed palette cleanser for the house. It’s like Gaytten’s saying “Let’s get back to the basics and then move forward.” And I’m ok with that. I’m confident that he has brought back something réellement Dior that has been missing for a while.

Did you know: The phrase “Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity” was embroidered onto several of the skirts and dresses.
