Encore Dior

AP: Photo Thibault CamusPirate, flapper, boudoir, equestrian, with just a  hint of punk,  are words frequently used to describe John Galliano's work.  The Christian Dior Fall 2010 collection is no exception, as Galliano turned towards his most beloved inspirations to create a collection that was as subversive as it is dreamy and as Galliano as it was quintessential Dior.

John Galliano returns to the stables for RTW 2010/Ap Photo: Jacques BrinonFor many designers repeating themes, especially themes used as recently as your own Couture collection shown just 3 months prior, is a risky move which could prompt editors and critics to scream "One trick pony!" But for Galliano, who sent  a second set of jodhpurs, and riding hats cantering down the runway earlier today, the redux worked, functioning more as solidifying signature than a dashed off sequel.

Filmy dresses with exquisite vintage details, retro make-up and fresh from the bedroom hair rounded out the hyper sensual collection that could not have been mistaken for anyone other than the maestro.

I absolutely LOVE that gray gown in the first photo. SO GORGE!! However, the granny panties, not so much.
