Although this fall show for Christian Dior’s Haute Couture Collection showcased only in July 2006, it already seems like a century ago in today’s hyper fast paced world of fashion. Despite that, because this video had been running on a loop on my real player this whole week, I feel like I have something to say about it and so here it goes. The show was simply spectacular! It had the glamorous and extravagant elements of a typical collection by designer John Galliano, but of course, pushed to the limit and showcased in max power that only makes us dream and dare for more.
This opening segment is undoubtedly my favorite for its fantastic elements to transform and bring the audience to the surreal exclusive world of Mr. Galliano’s pure magical creation. The first look that appeared on the runway was a black hourglass dress heavily bejewelled with metallic armour of the same colour worn by Swiss model Nadine Strittmatter along to a soundtrack that assists to create an eerie supernatural environment. As each note is sounded, this uncanny feeling is intensified. As a succession of models who almost seemed like cold-blooded guards with their hyperglamorous headdress and armour past by, one cannot help but notice each movement the girls make in this body-hugging dress and how the hips sway along rhythmically, as the gilded chain mail of the headdress clash together creating that distinct sound in the silence of the night amidst the Renaissance garden, which Mr. Galliano has created as the setting of this season’s show.

Dear Mr. Rodriguez,
Ohhh… Narciso! I don’t care what people said. I love your show!!! I think it had elements that are very Narciso, like the way you play with the silhouette and the contrast of black and white all finished off in a very modern sleek yet elegant style; yet, it was also very experimental, because you went beyond what you did and I like that! I really loved Diana Farkhullina’s black and white starry dress. She looks simply divine.

I also love Toni Garrn’s criss cross top. I think it would be interesting to wear it to work, because it’s purely extraordinary.

Vogue Italia features the most beautiful black models in the industry in its July 2008 “Black” issue. One of the sexiest picture I saw was Ms. Campbell educating the world on how to play pool properly and ohhh… it’s true: who else could teach us something like that? There’s only one Naomi!
