 There's always something completely unwearable and outrageous:

Check out this excellent article from Jeanne Beker (Fashion Television) on the Dior show.  To my amateur "Project Runway" sensibilities I thought there was something really off on that show.  The themes just seemed all over the place and as Jeanne says in her article, "the magic was missing".  So sad that John Galliano had to be such jerk.  There's also a full video of the show here . 

Check out French Vogue for a peek at some of the other lines.  I reccommend Valentino (wonderful texture), Givenchy ( incredible detail), and Gucci (amazing colour).

Have fun~
