Dior S/S 11
The inspiration behind this look is taken from illustrator Rene Gruau. Gruau used glamour and sensuality in his drawings and in the beginning he was associated with International Textile whilst he was starting out, and by the 40's apart from having a friendship with Christian Dior which led to this
he had expanded to work with all the big names Balmain, Balenciaga, Givenchy, as well as advertising for Red Kiss and LIDO. If this didn't keep him busy enough he provided for Elle, Vogue and the list goes on.
S/S 11 focused on Femme Fatales of the '40's and here is a clip showing the best bits on the catwalk.
