Paris Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Week: Christian Dior

Paris Haute Couture is here! The fashion week all couture lovers can't wait for has arrived as we gladly spend the next couple of days oohing and aahing over some very delectable confections of fabric! Here are some photos from the first Christian Dior show sans John Galliano, who has since been replaced as Creative Director by the design team's talented Bill Gaytten. I love the playful headpieces, bright dancing colors, painterly influences along geometric lines, textures, patterns...No one, least of all me, will forget Galliano's spectacular ode to flower power last season, but if this new collection is anything to go by, long time design team member Gaytten is already doing the Galliano/Dior legacy proud...
