Fashionable Friday : Dior de Triomphe

While I started out with every intention of staying true to the lemon chiffon and 15 shades of grey used for the original gown by John Galliano for Dior, a suspected blood sugar droppage led me down the sweetheart lollies colourway path. If you're reading this, Mr Galliano, I'm sorry. And oh, look: a diversionary French bulldog puppy! Pretty!
I may be a fashion neophyte, but I know what makes a 'My-God-but-you're-lovely' radar ping. And this nod by John Galliano to legendary fashion illustrator René Gruau had my sonars all a-flutter. So let us stop the Paris traffic and take our 50 metres of silk and tulle for a spin while five crack teams of very tuckered out silkworms recuperate in a mulberry tree spa in an undisclosed location. Gosh knows, they've earned it. And on that note ...
Happy Fashionable Friday to you !
This is probably the color Mr. Galliano really wanted for his creation, but a momentary craving for limoncello led him down that other colorways path—and more's the pity, if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteLimoncello ... now there's a thought, ma chere !
DeleteI like them both. It might look good in pink, too, or lavender. I say we each choose a color, and perambulate along the Champs with our pooches, our pedicures, and our Veuve Cliquot. We will look like an ice cream parade, and everyone will want to march with us.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fine idea to me, dear Petrea! Who wouldn't love a Parisian ice-cream parade?! Perhaps Berthillon would name some flavours after us...
DeleteCaramel de Shell, Pistache de Petrea . . . ?
DeleteOh, merci ma chère!! Et peut-être Champagne d'Alexa ... {surely the world needs more champagne-flavoured ice-cream...}
DeleteShell Sherbet! Alexa Almond Divinity! Petrea Pecan Sandie! (oh, stop me...)
DeleteI'd stop you but I'd rather not, dear Petrea ... :)
DeleteElla Jelly Bean, Puppermint, Wilmanilla...
ReplyDeleteAnyone would think you play with words for a living, Petrea ... oh, wait ...
DeleteIt's not play! It's serious work, with breaks for ice cream.
DeleteIf only F.Scott Fitzgerald had followed your model, dear Petrea.
DeleteHe'd have been chubby, but maybe happier.
DeleteWilmanilla would make anyone happier, Petrea. ;)
