A Diva State of Mind

The Christian Dior Spring 2011 Haute Couture Fashion Show created a lot of buzz last week (at least it did on my twitter timeline).  Pictures and video from the show that took place at Musée Rodin on the Left Bank in Paris were posted online and the looks are AMAZING!!!! I can only imagine what it would’ve been like to see the show in person.

Created by John Galliano, the designs for this year’s show focused on color and shadow. There are a few gorgeous gowns I can’t wait to see hit the red carpet.   If you’re a true lover of fashion, you’ll love the pictures from the show just as much as I did. Below are some of my favorites.

You can view the entire collection and video of the show at VOGUE.

It’s one thing to coat your car interior with designer labels like Louis Vuitton, but Christian Dior has taken branding to a whole new level!! ‘”Dior Eyes” have gilded edging and the iconic couturier’s CD monogram in the lower corner.’  The contact lenses sell for $145 in the European market and come with a luxury case. 

Now I know people love designer labels and already have them in random places, but this is a hot mess.  Would someone really wear designer contact lenses? Warning to my friends, please don’t let me ever catch you wearing designer contacts.  We’re too old and classy for that. 

Color contact lenses when out of style years ago; to think these color designer contacts are going to be hot is a stretch but I have a feeling other designer may try to follow in Christian Dior’s footsteps.  I’m even more interested to see which celebrity is going to try and make this a popular fashion trend. I wonder which rapper will be the first? hmmm…..

Which one of you would try these? It’s ok, you can admit it. I won’t judge!
