Be gorgeous this summer in 2008 style
Do you remember the 1960s style of Laura Spagnoli last year? The one that looked like Brigitte Bardot would wear anything in the collection?
John Galliano just mounted a resort 2008 collection for Chritian Dior that looks like the rich folk looked in the 1960s. Think of Tina Onassis and Jackie Kennedy walking through the then-chic San Tropez.
Style.com has the whole show for you. There are many details you can find this year to look next year. All the day wear includes hats– better even than sunblock for your face. Big sunglasses are all over it. The colors are as romantic as colors get. I wouldn’t wear the cropped pants under a just-over-the-knee dress, but with sandals and the hat, I’d just wear that green tunic. The tailored and detailed bikini? In my dreams.
Even the evening wear, which most of us need only a little of, is copyable. The big necklaces on the Dior models may cost thousands, but they are ethnic and you’ll find great ethnic necklaces in shops in your town. I did last Saturday in my little city.
It’s a very feminine collection for today. Even his kaftans are styled to show a shape, not to billow around you in tent fashion. I’d copy the colors, the details and if I thought it wouldn’t make me look like a character out of Lord of the Rings, I’d love that tall hat!
As strange as Galliano can sometimes seem, here he makes women pretty, pretty, pretty.
