With the volume seen at Christian Dior, it’s clear that balloon skirts aren’t going away quite yet. To the contrary they may be getting bigger – in size and importance!
We’ll have to wait for the rest of the upcoming shows to find out, but if you’re willing to take a gamble on a fabulous deal then there’s this Donna Karan Collection satin balloon skirt to consider.
The skirt is one of many great finds in the Bergdorf Goodman sale featuring up to 70% off top designers. This piece was originally $1,495 and is now down to $583. The pleats and texture are simply sophisticated while making a big style statement.

John Galliano’s spring haute couture collection for Christian Dior spoke volumes. Volume in taffeta and satin bunched, swagged, bustled and draped. And volume in bright, saturated, pastel and jewel-tone colors.
The collection was full of drama with oversized toppers that resembled objets d’art more than hats, painterly prints, paillettes and embroidery. Gone was the delicacy and old-fashioned femininity of Galliano’s fall collection. Instead of exaggerated waists, caricatures of silhouettes gone by, proportions were blown out in the opposite direction, ballooning away from the body with a structure belying the craftsmanship of the collection.

Behind-the-scenes, almost voyeuristic photos of Yves Saint Laurent preparing for his first solo collection and surprised audience reactions to Dior’s 1962 runway show will be presented to the world in “Paris 1862.” The book of Jerry Schatzberg’s photography shot for Esquire magazine catches fashion celebrities like Diana Vreeland and Jessica Davis in their element. The $800 collector’s print, signed by the artist, launches Nov. 15 in Paris and then in America in November. Next year we can expect Rizzoli, the publisher of the new Ralph Lauren book, to put out an expanded edition that is perhaps more affordable. But, given the $135 price of “Ralph Lauren” it might not be affordable to the masses.

New York Fashion Week - Gossip

The Christian Dior ready-to-wear spring 2008 collection was smokin’! John Galliano celebrated the 60th Anniversary of Christian Dior with steamy hot ’20s through ’40s-themed designs depicting all the styles he’s created throughout his 10-year career with Dior. Set to the beat of Sting’s “Englishman in New York” as the perfect ‘mood’ music, Galliano debuted with his renowned pant suit in the form of a three-piece pin-stripe with a chic hardware-accented baret. His other designs primarily consisted of trench coats, zebra and leopard print, leaf patterned pencil skirt sets, and pagoda-shouldered renditions of his Madame Butterfly collection. And oh how we loved the accessories galore! Big, fabulous handbags, dazzling jewelry, strappy heels, and of course, sexy vintage-inspired hats. Check out more photos from the show after the jump.

Saks Fifth Avenue unveiled its expanded designer shoe department this August, inviting shoe enthusiasts to browse with ease on a floor that reportedly has its own zip code. The flagship store in New York City is dazzling shoppers with attractive displays—over 100,000 designer pairs in inventory—along with luxe amenities such as private shopping appointments, rotating pedestals, and plenty of space to try on a few (dozen) pairs at your leisure. It’s a trip to shoe heaven for any well-heeled enthusiast, and you’ll find more than just the average collections at this ritzy emporium. Accessories and refreshments await on the eighth floor—from Dior to Christian Louboutin—it’s too soon to tell if you might need a traveler’s map to find your way around.
