The haute couture show featured revisions of all the brand's iconic looks. The designer wanted to pay tribute to the aristocrat Marie Gruau de la Chesnaie, taking inspiration from René Gruau illustrations of the evolution of fashion over the past few decades.
The color palette includes pastels, on organza, silk and tulle materials in this dreamlike collection. But the dominant color is the iconic Dior red, bringing back a ladylike look. The volumes are magnificent, as are the multi-layered skirts, elaborate cuts that highlight the shoulders and waist, and delicate springtime designs.
To add a final touch of glamor, John Galliano has added some amazing feather and net details in black raffia. This season's Galliano woman is ultra feminine, crowned with a halo of mystery...
Jean Paul Gaultier put on a flamboyant display of jungle chic and ultra-luxe gauchos for his Spring 2010 Haute Couture presentation. The fashion was a parade of highly embellished denim, extremely sculpted dresses that looked to be woven out of rainforest flora. The most expensive sombreros in the world were probably found on the heads of the models, as well as fantastical tresses that would make Marie Antoinette sigh with envy. The South American flavored runway saw inspirations from the Aztecs and feathered birds of prey while being serenaded to the sounds of Peruvian soprano, Yma Sumac, and salsa singer, Luis Marino.
The handbags seemed simple in comparison to the sculpted, elaborate hats and dresses. The models carried bags that seemed to be basket-woven from exotic jungle grasses into simple silhouettes. Some were so delicately arranged, it was not clear if these were practical pieces that were actually meant to be sold.

Top-hatted and veiled, with their hair caught in oversized snoods, and brandishing four-foot long riding crops, the models pranced through the grand salons of the Dior maison on the Avenue Montaigne, with the precision of thoroughbreds.
Jackets, in hunting pink, or English wool checks, were precision-tailored, detailed with silver buttons and extreme peplums, and allied to long, riding skirts, designed in side-saddle style in a mix of pleats and draped folds.
For evening, Galliano switched his focus to America, drawing on multiple references, including the era of "The Gibson Girl" considered the ideal of Stateside feminine Beauty in the early 20th century, and the eccentric millionairess and style icon, Millicent

A sliver of crescent moon against scudding clouds formed a dramatic backdrop to the presentation of the Giorgio Armani Privé collection in Paris last night.
The moon, however, was just one of the stars in this shimmering, celestial collection, which was inspired by the sky at night.
