After showing his Spring 2009 Couture Collection for Christian Dior, John Galliano said, "There's a credit crunch, not a creative crunch. It's our job to make people dream and to provide the value in quality, cut and imagination." (quote courtesy of style.com) Yes, we're all feeling the strains on the economy, but if we don't have couture to look at, life is even less sunny. Galliano's other-worldly collection drew inspiration from Flemish painters and Monsieur Dior. Models were swathed and corseted in shades of yellow, blue and red. Waistlines and full-skirts were uber 50's, think Julianne Moore in Far From Heaven with A LOT more fabric. Fitting, as the collection really was dreamy.
