Modernists Fashion from London Fashion Week

On arrival at Modernists show guests were presented with a single pastel pink rose setting the tone perfectly for the uber romantic, dreamy collection which followed. It was by far my favourite show of the day, which is not surprising when taking into account my unconditional love for all things girlie, yes that includes flowers, frills, lace and even ruffles, all of which featured across this collection.

Departing from last seasons predominantly black colour palette the show opened with an array of truly stunning white dresses, ethereal models glided along the catwalk in these creations which varied with intricate appliqué details and amazingly ornate cut outs providing the pieces with texture. Clean lines and interesting angles however gave the designs a strong and modern edge.

Colour came in the form of pastel pink tulip skirts giving way to stunning deep mauve dresses in structured fabrics as well as violet full length gloves which added to the elegant glamour of the collection. lavish floral detail came in the form of over-sized corsages on sheer tops.

Dior Fashion For Spring/Summer 2009 Collection in Paris

PARIS (Reuters) - France's ready-to-wear spring and summer shows began in earnest on Monday with Christian Dior's collection, as the world of fashion flew in the face of an increasingly ominous world environment.

Dior's show at the Tuileries gardens marked the start of the main part of the industry showpiece after the annual spring-summer shows began at the weekend with collections from a clutch of younger designers.

"Tribal chic. Studded. Belted. Degrade," read the notes to Dior designer John Galliano's show in which he sent a parade of teenaged models in diaphanous party dresses stalking down the catwalk to a pulsing rock beat.

"It's very young, transparent, light and quite sober," actress Marisa Berenson told Reuters Television after the show. "There were some wonderful mixtures of colors as he always does but I liked the lightness and the transparency."
