Retro Fashion Flash Backs - Dior Brings Back Mrs. Robinson (GALLERY)


It’s amazing to me how the 1960s have had such a strong influence over designers in the latest seasons. John Galliano, the fashion director of the Christian Dior label, used his creative talent to seek inspiration from the past when he designed his Fall 2008 runway show in Paris based on the 1967 film “The Graduate.” Not only were the fashions inspired by the hit movie, but the accompanying soundtrack further set up the stage for the models who worked the catwalk in red, pink, lime, fuschia, and mandarin. There didn’t seem to be one creation in the show that would be unwearable. Dior is appealing to a wide audience which hopefully will pay off at the salons. In short, there was something for women to wear whether they were in their 20s or their 80s -- a recipe for retail success at a time when falling financial markets mean a designer needs to appeal the widest possible clientele to weather a downturn. "Galliano's so talented, there is such creativity and energy that goes into his clothes," said front row guest Lucy Liu, star of "Charlie's Angels" and "Ally McBeal". Backstage, Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate that is behind the Christian Dior brand, paid tribute to Galliano's developing commercial as well as his creative skills. "As much as it is about Galliano's creativity, it is also about his economic development," Arnault told Reuters. (in.reuters)
