CHRISTIAN DIOR SS 2010 HAUTE-COUTURE
Christian Dior designer John Galliano looked to the lady equestrians of the 19th century- bold Amazons in nip-waisted jackets and flowing skirts- for a spring-summer 2010 collection of skirt suits in fine red and gray wool, worn with veiled top hats, lace-up boots with towering heels and, of course, whips.
With its new haute couture collection of refined riding clothes, Dior has invited the chic women of the world to saddle up and ditch their handbags for a truly useful accessory: the riding crop.
