Christian Dior Marina Bay Sands Grand Opening Party: Post Event Report

Last night, the much anticipated Christian Dior Marina Bay Sands Opening Party took place to much fan fare, celebrity buzz and lots of free flowing champagne amidst beautiful fashion.

Bagaholicboy, Xwen and me were there to enjoy the atmosphere while not forgetting to bring all our lovely readers the sights and sounds of the most talked about party of this year. Dior really went all the way and no expense were spared to create a most memorable experience for all Dior fans. The scale of the party is unmatched! So many celebrities and guests (almost a thousand!).

VIP guests the likes of Zhao Wei, Fann Wong and many local celebrities (Joanne Peh, Alvin Ng, Nadya Hutagalung and many others) were seated in exclusive areas while other guests wandered around the huge tent treating themselves to delicious canapes and free flowing cocktails. The atmosphere was very club-like and high adrenalin. Music was great with superb lighting that makes you want to dance right away! There were even photo booths shaped like huge mirrors for guests to snap mementos of themselves for keeps! An ingenious feature to entertain guests for a party:-)

2 runway shows were staged for the evening, first show featuring the Fall Winter 2010 collection and then followed by the Cruise 2011 collection. The high energy runway presentation saw gorgeous ready to wear from John Galliano sashayed down the massive runway, charming guests and wowing fashion fans alike. I love the flowing gowns that came at the last part of both shows. Liu Wen's peach orange gown was a huge standout. I love it and can foresee many editorial exposure for that piece:-) The fur and equestrian influences of Fall Winter is luxurious while the colourful Cruise Collection evoke a fun sensibility of aboard a cruise holiday. Applause to Dior:-)

Enjoy the many pics I took of the event. Thank you to Dior once again for the invite. Look forward to even greater and more fabulous parties from you guys. This will indeed be a benchmark for all Fashion Parties in Singapore from now on!

Paris Fashion - Haute Couture, Ready-to-wear 2008

Almost every January is frantic.
Couture and rtw shows seem to have a hidden agreement to showcase their next season's collection altogether during this period to major fashion buyers and media players.

Just last week, we saw snow queens and rococo style aristocrats strutting their stuff down the Grand Palais and Bois de Boulogne for the Chanel and Dior Couture shows respectively.

In all opulence, an erected beige-like sculpture rendering the infamous Chanel tweed suit jacket, was placed on a circular revolving stage of the fashion house. From this massive mausoleum, came out models who were all wearing ballet flats for footwear, a complete novelty for the famous rue Cambon-based house.

Riot of colours, precious fabrics, and lavish details - yet another testimony of the level of workmanship in Christian Lacroix's summer haute couture collection.

For his ballgowns he went for drama, long-line bodices cut close to the body billowing out into voluminous skirts. Sleeves reminiscing the 19 century, came in the form of leg-of-mutton or ballooned shaped. (One of Style Damsel's favourite trade)

Style Damsel's made-belief boyfriend, John Galliano's Dior summer haute couture collection was another parade of sumptuous gowns in rich, vibrant silks, embroidered with gold, or encrusted with crystals and jade. Gold arabesque embroidery and geometric motifs were reminiscent of the paintings of Gustav Klimt.

In the programme notes Galliano said he had been inspired by a portrait of Amelie Gautreau in a plunge-neckline dress by the 19th century American painter John Singer Sargent, which caused a scandal at the time.

Central Saint Martin's alumni, Jonathan Saunders opted for a longer bodice and peplum skirts in his coordinates. Mandarin collars were spotted on well-tailored shirts. Saunders's explorative blend of using tied-dye chiffon in blouses created a soft, flowing element, that injects a sense of feminity to his collection.
