{Fashion} Highlight: Christian Dior Couture Spring Summer 2012

February 2, 2012
The 1950s are in.

Or at least the fashion of the 1950s is in. Β It began with the styles seen in the ever popular series “Mad Men” and then briefly “Pan Am”. Β But it continues off the screen and onto the runway, especially in the designs seen on the runway for Christian Dior Couture Spring Summer 2012.
I love the full skirt, opera length gloves, and cinched waist of the first look. Β This is definitely a great look to replicate and celebrates the lady in all of us. Β I would also love a severe A-line skirt with a lovely petticoat peeking through – it’s brazenly feminine and unapologetically fun as is a traditional pencil skirt in an unexpected print and color. Β The last few pieces were retro and modern at the same time. Β The gradient coloring and luxurious layering made these classic styles new.
I didn’t know until now that I needed a fun pencil skirt and now I can’t wait to get one (ahh and to have this Β one!)

little luxury list

    lovin’ the red houndstooth pencil skirt.

    as a woman i’m always terrified to wear white bottoms (yes, even now, what if my period DOES come early?? or i sit in chocolate pudding? or my pen explodes??)

    but with the red houndstooth…

    I just adore how this collection channels retro Dior! That third dress is smashing.

    The Tim Walker book is fantastic cause it also gives a look into his creative process and how he dreams up those amazing scenarios he photographs.

    So pretty, I love the second to last one.

  • Heather February 2, 2012 at 18:34

    Gorgeous! I love the second-to-last dress and find 1950s looks to be so flattering.

  • Jackie February 2, 2012 at 19:27

    love this pretty spin on the 50s especially since dior is the one who created this look originally back in the 50s, I really love that ombre skirt–to die for!

    Dior is best of show – they are really on their game this year. That ombre-ish dress is killer.

  • Jess February 3, 2012 at 01:51

    That second dress is fabulous!

  • Jaime @ La vie...J'aime February 3, 2012 at 02:19

    the shapes are so retro but the patterns & details, so modern… love!

  • Bravoe Runway February 3, 2012 at 02:53

    I’m with you…I’d be happy with any of these items! Dior has always put feminine pieces down the runway, and it just suits their brand!
