Christian Dior A/W '09/10 Haute Couture Runway

Well the buzz all over glamour girl circles for the past week was the Christian Dior Autumn/Winter '09 Haute Couture runway show. The theme was "The Art of Undressing." Apparently it was inspired by pics of Mr. Dior dressing his models back in the day.

As the creator of the New Look, 50's glamour owes a lot to Christian Dior, and while I don't think I'll be going out of the house in just my corsellette any time soon there's a lot to love in this collection, from the make-up (check out the Cuban manicure on one model) to the beautiful clothes.
