I was delighted to see whimsical romantic colors and silhouettes on the Paris runways for Fall instead of the traditional dark, severe garments. The John Galliano for Dior fall collection plays up pastels and equestrian femininity to create an atmosphere indicative of the Regency-era French upper class while Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton showcases the elegance and sensuality of fifties Rome. The two are very different collections but both are easily my favorites of the season for their decadence and irreverence. In an era where shock is the primary modus operandi, Galliano and Jacobs are able to bring a modern touch to classic styles and, in the process, create something truly beautiful.
