A old friend gave me this beautiful book a few years ago and I always end up flicking through its elegant photographs for inspiration.

A "Salute to René Gruau..."








Everything I love about fashion summed up in the Dior Couture Spring 2011 show. Absolutely perfect!

"Galliano's salute to René Gruau, the illustrator whose work for Christian Dior in the forties and fifties created the house's most iconic imagery, felt like it had been a long time coming, not just because of the designer's own early aspirations, but because it gave him another opportunity to indulge his passion for an era when couture was truly haute."

Inspired...







Can not remember exactly where I found these photographs, but found them in my inspiration box when looking for some ideas over the weekend.
