Christian Dior Fall 2011 Collection

One of my favorite things about fashion is that it can truly be an art form. Art that you can wear! That's what the latest collection from the Dior label has been. This was the last collection created by Dior's former designer, John Galliano. The collection epitomized his one-of-a-kind, impeccably made, and fabulously gorgeous style of clothing design.

The runway show started off with a bang with this fabulous outfit. This took my breath away, with the giant cape and the fantastic low-brimmed blue hat. All of the pieces in this remarkable ensemble are perfectly created. I personally adore the boots as well.

This outfit oozes sophistication. The pants are fitted to perfection, and would make any woman's body look good. I also love the green top with the perfectly matched necklace. The reddy-brown of the jacket compliments the green exactly. Overall, this ensemble is perfect for a day in the office.

I really love this outfit. The skirt is simple yet gorgeous, and perfect for a garden party in the spring or for a day at work. I also love the jacket, because it is simple yet beautifully made. The fur on its cuffs is just enough to make it interesting without being over the top. The boots are gorgeous, and the socks perfectly match the pretty necklace. I also can't deny that I love the blue bag!

This outfit as a whole is completely fabulous! The colors compliment each other really well in my opinion. This is absolutely perfect for a warm summer or spring day, because it seems so light and airy. The bag is really cute as well, and I simply ADORE the bright blue shoes!

There's just something about this outfit that captures me. I can't honestly say that it's something that could be worn to the office, although pieces of it worn separately might work. However, this is true art as well. The way that each individual piece of the ensemble corresponds with the others is absolute genius. It has a real sense of flow - each piece fits together like a puzzle. Even the direction in which the scarf falls was probably engineered for ultimate effect and beauty. The colors are great together, and I just want to say that I WANT those shoes and that bag!

This dress is just amazing. Its texture is obviously one of the first things that struck me about it; that interesting, flowy feel that the dress has. Its color is almost unassuming, and the hat is fabulous. The shoes and bag are again gorgeous.

This is such a cute little dress. The maroon color of it looks great against the model's pale skin tone, and the boots and socks match the colors of the dress perfectly. The ruffles make it an interesting texture without detracting from the style of the dress. This is perfect for any party, in the day or at night, and could work for teenagers as well as women in their early twenties.

This dress has a different feel to the last one I critiqued. It would also work for a day or night party, but for women a little older than the last dress. I see women from their early twenties to early thirties working this look, since it is a tad more risqué than the last dress. However, I love this look. The color red definitely calls attention to it, and it really is a sophisticated party option for many women.

I can't even express in words how much I love this dress! Perfect for any spring formal, this dress is exactly what any woman would need for some extra confidence. The color is one that would work for basically any skin tone, and the jewels make it interesting enough that the wearer doesn't even need to worry about a necklace. I love its interesting shape around the bottom, which makes it completely one-of-a-kind. The shoes I obviously love, partly because I'm very passionate about shoes, and partly because these particular shoes are fabulous!

I like outfits that have color patterns like this. See how the color seems to have all dropped to the bottom of the dress? That's what makes this dress so incredible to look at. It's more than just a simple, textured strapless ensemble. It has the color-dropping effect which takes it to the next level. Totally gorgeous.

This was one of those dresses that actually spoke to me when I first saw it. Simple yet classy, this dress has the impeccable quality of all the other dresses from this collection. I love the sparkly bow as well as the flowy tail-like textured material flowing off one side. That makes the dress asymmetrical, which adds interest to it. The shoes are gorgeous. This outfit would work for young girls at spring dances, day or night.

This gown is breathtaking. I love the color, the shape, the intricate designs of the flowers, its drama, and the flowing jacket. This is a show-stopping ensemble, impeccably made, perfectly matched to the shoes and the jacket. I can't imagine where someone would wear such a dress. I imagine it would be perfect for the red carpet at some elite event, or maybe for a princess or a queen! The shoes are, of course, really pretty. I love the entire outfit as a whole.

I decided to complete my analysis of this one-of-a-kind, impeccable, 62-piece collection with this gown. I obviously love the shoes, but the dress also draws my eye, because of its style, color, and impeccable quality. I love the draping of the main body of the dress, because that creates an interesting shape, and I think it would compliment any woman's shape. The ruffles around the bust add a textural effect, and the straps take it back to simplicity. There are so many things "going on" in this dress, yet it doesn't look overdone or too busy. It's just a gorgeous, sophisticated gown.
