PARIS–Last July at the Rodin museum garden tent, John Galliano for Dior sent out vivid colorful dress inspired by flowers, some with three-dimensional shapes of petals, for the Dior Haute Couture show.
Yesterday, at the same site, it was the work of legendary fashion illustrator Ren� Gruau that inspired Galliano’s couture collection for Dior. Gruau and Dior had a long creative collaboration and friendship, which began when Graua created a drawing of a swan for an ad for Miss Dior perfume in 1947. Gruau?s economic style–using blocks of light colors against simple black lines–defined the modernity of Mr. Dior?s audacious couture vision: bold lines and ambitious clothes beget uncomplicated elegance.
