"Let Them Eat Cake" She Said..

Just wanted to share what is, quite possibly, my favorite Christian Dior Haute Couture collection. This is Spring 2006 inspired by the violence of the French Revolution.

I love practically everything about this collection. The corseting, the asymmetrical skirts, the volume, even the blood.

I particularly like how some of the makeup makes the models look like wax death masks a la Madame Tussaud. If you do a google search for Marie Antoinette's death mask, it'll pop up, as well as Louis XIV's.

I suppose I only wish the shoes were stronger.... and that I could afford it (I suppose that's a given).

I say this everytime, but it doesn't hurt to say it again.. Click the pictures. They blow up approximately 3 X bigger.
