Wordless (Almost) Wednesday - More Dior

 Marilyn Monroe in Christian Dior

 A breathtaking gallery of gowns worn by some famous folk - Rhianna, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lawrence, and Marlene Dietrich.

Need something to wear to a picnic?   ha!

Nifty exhibit - fantasy clothes and prices.  But sooner or later - haute couture design makes its way in many iterations to the racks of Wal-mart. Color, buttons, wide belt, or skinny - as we learned in the movie  "The Devil Wears Prada", it may seem silly but then it comes to the masses.

Monday Moments

A Monday moment after a Sunday at the Dallas Museum of Art. The featured exhibit is Dior: From Paris to the World. 

This is a wow showing of haute couture. Christian Dior founded his fashion house in 1947 and brought an elegance to a world still reeling from war. He died in 1957, but his work lived on  with designers appointed to continue his vision - Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and now Maria Grazia Chiuri. All stayed true to the Dior image and legacy "to make women happier and more beautiful.

Yes, there are some crazy designs, but the structure, detail, and seamstress skill is astounding.

Really cool exhibit.
