Ready to wear? Definitely not. Clown couture? Absolutely. Though I was unsure if it was the sassy skirtage or organza explosion in Dior's Fall 2011 couture collection that really got me going, I decided to just accept the fact that this collection would be permanently rouched into my noggin (an attempt at a witty fashion joke).
The fresh, bright colors and absurdly gorgeous silhouettes went on and on, literally! I believe I could successfully wallpaper a full-sized mansion with the amount of fabric used to make these crafty creations! Back to the colors-if you only live to know one fact about me, know that I have a distaste for all things pastel, except for this. In almost every other case, I see pastel colors used in a manner that leaves me feeling just as tacky, dated, and cheap as the clothes I'm unfortunately looking at. In addition to the beautifully "pastelled" grande ball gowns and wildly patterned 50's style poodle skirts without the poodle, another aspect of the collection that has me finding the will power to blog about it is the peacock style, faux-feathered, no-wind-machine-necessary dresses. Who ever thought a female would look so incredible in an oddly checkered/awkwardly striped and loudly colored smock? Apparently, Dior did.
Whether it's due to Karlie looking classy and finale-ready in a clown suit or Chanel Iman strutting down the runway looking like she's ready to become a Candy Land playing piece, Dior and its new designers have done well. I, as with most of the other crazy ensembles I blog about, would gladly step out the door (well, maybe just to go to a fancy party) wearing any of these pieces of art. Who doesn't want to look like a chic-a-fied clown/piece of candy? I certainly do, and if you have learned anything at all from me, so should you (this can be a joke if you want it to be).
