Christian Dior Haute Couture SS 2012 - Alana Zimmer
“It appears that something out of the Land Of The Lost has slithered its way over to Giorgio’s drawing board and then perhaps further into his subconscious. Or consciousness, considering what a delight his latest delivery proved to be.
What started out as forest green, pearl and mauve shimmery satin circle and pencil skirts, paired with peaked-shoulder jackets (though it must be said; the jackets were rather ho-hum, a little too Balmainesque), quickly evolved into something out of the ordinary; a trippy, futuristic snake inspired collection that consisted of daring details and even more daring materials.
Furthermore, the model stream was sent out in black serpent headpieces; an adorable added extra. Mesh and sequins came together on several pieces and in all shades of greens while python prints popped as statement pieces, paired with everything else that was going on.
The really fabulous stuff came in the lime green feathered overcoats, the sturdy, wave-structured shirts and the metallic ball gowns, blazoned with crystal and sequin embellishment. Shiny, slimey serpents were stitched into the paired sequined clutches, to boot. It was over the top and overwhelmingly playful – how very couture of you, Giorgio.”

In honor of our beautiful Audrey Hepburn, who passed away on this date, January 20, 1993 in Switzerland. This is how I will always remember her.

This look is glamorous but in such a refreshing way. The boots and bag are standouts.
