Dior Couture Fall 08/09 Plays Peekaboo in Paris

— July 1, 2008 — Fashion
John Galliano started the Paris couture season with an exquisite Dior Couture Fall 08/ 09 show that flaunted peekaboo 'now-you-see-it, now-you-don't' pieces. I have to say this is my absolute favorite show of late. Shows like this are what fashion designers aspire to achieve, even once in their lifetime.

The collection is pure Dior but with a twist. In contrast to the stiff and heavy fabrics which Christian Dior couture has recently been using in their trademark voluminous dresses, Galliano used layers of light chiffon and hand-embroidered sheer lace that provided a "window" to what's underneath.

"It's a sort of homage to photographers and cameramen," Galliano said of his choice of monochrome black and white, which helped bring the focus on the structure and details of the pieces.

The show attracted big names such as Janet Jackson, Eva Mendes, Claudia Schiffer, and Liv Tyler.

Check out Dior's recent men's show, followed by another past impressions Galliano show:

Trend Themes
1. Peekaboo Fashion - The use of 'now-you-see-it, now-you-don't' pieces in fashion shows creates a unique and interactive experience for consumers.
2. Lightweight Fabrics - The shift towards using light chiffon and hand-embroidered sheer lace in couture fashion allows for more fluid and ethereal designs.
3. Monochrome Palette - The choice of monochrome black and white in fashion collections puts the focus on the structure and intricate details of the garments.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Design - Fashion designers can incorporate 'peekaboo' elements into their collections to engage consumers and create a sense of intrigue.
2. Textile Manufacturing - The demand for lightweight fabrics, such as chiffon and sheer lace, presents an opportunity for textile manufacturers to develop innovative materials to meet the needs of couture fashion.
3. Photography and Videography - The trend of monochrome fashion collections inspired by photographers and cameramen opens up collaboration opportunities between fashion designers and professionals in the photography and videography industries.
