John Galliano's show for Autumn/Winter Dior seems to have produced some phenomonal pieces...being in the southern hemisphere its frustrating going into to summer however the orange in this dress could probably translate as a summer piece - the risk being 'are bright colours too cliche for summer?'

The gauzy effect created by the fabric in the pleated skirt is echoed in this piece from the same collection

i was also interested not by the dress - i have a thing against shocking pink and ruffles at the hips- but in the STOCKINGS with that beautiful seam up the back GLAMOUR

i loved the hair and makeup on these models - quintissentially 80's i think reminded me of the fabulous Pat Benatar

I think all of the above ladies look ready for battle...
