Christian Dior fashion show A / W 2011-2012

The women's collection for Christian Dior paraded yesterday during Paris Fashion Week, just as established in the official calendar. The scandal that hit the house did not affect the presentation of the autumn / winter 2011-2012 even if, as expected, the designer John Galliano did not appear, as usual, at the end of the parade. There was however an opening address by the President and CEO Dior, Sidney Todano, who spoke of the values of the house and its history. Then the parade, a beautiful collection and the last signed by John Galliano for Dior.
The signature Dior catwalk was animated, as well as outfits from the beautiful, melancholic atmosphere. The days leading up to this parade has been moved to say the least: the designer of Dior, John Galliano, has become the protagonist of a scandal that did not leave indifferent the world of fashion and the fashion house which, after the publication of the video that portrayed him, decided to sack the stylist (decision inevitable and necessary given that the founder's own sister was deported to Buchenwald).
  At the beginning of the presentation, as expected, Sidney Todano considered it appropriate to give a speech that covered, albeit indirectly, the scandal that hit the house. A brief preamble on the history of Dior and his foundation and then, as expected, a discourse on the Holocaust and the values of Dior and what this represents for France, all without having to appoint John Galliano.
  After the speech, the emotion and then the wonderful parade. At the end of the exit on the catwalk of the other protagonists of the parade, those who usually remain behind the scenes. Seamstresses and embroiderers are shown in white coats to guests causing a well-deserved applause from the audience.
  The parade is a succession of beautiful and luxurious complete. The nuance seems to be the dominant electric blue followed by green and pastel colors. Warm fur collars, beautiful and iconic handbags, boots overknees, tweed and leather make up a collection that is among the most interesting we've seen marching in recent days.
  Meanwhile rumors continue about possible successors to the stylist fired. The choice now seems to have dwindled down to two: Stefano Pilati and Riccardo Tisci. After the scandal that hit John Galliano decided to suspend its parade and limited to a presentation for a few guests. Meanwhile, yesterday, outside the Rodin Museum is a cartollone appeared: "The King is gone."
