The epitomes of French fashion, the houses of Dior and Chanel, showed their couture collections for 2011 earlier this week. Whilst Chanel deigned us all with a reincarnation of Gabrielle herself, Dior took influence from an earlier period; focussing on the watercolor palette favoured by Gruau's (Dior's illustator in the 40's and 50's) . And where Chanel allowed the garments to fall, and flow and to move in time with the models, Dior took a much more structured approach with reminders of the crinoline and extreme tailoring.
