Christian Dior Couture ::

John Galliano's Couture collection for Christian Dior showed in Paris last week, taking a giant cue from the world of flora and fauna.

the layered dresses, skirts and shoes all referenced different types of flowers with delicate layers, bold shapes and intricate painted fabric. according to Tim Blanks of style.com, Galliano was inspired by nature itself as well as flower photographers Irving Penn and Nick Knight.

the head pieces of brightly colored cellophane, on top of the curly petal inspired hair, were made by Stephen Jones and were the final touch to the "just bought from a florist" feel.
