sometimes, everyone wants to be a girl

christian dior’s haute couture spring-summer 2012.

this is one of those times. does remind me of I&V YSL film, but this is no film. men’s shows can be quite boring sometimes, but not women’s. and not this one. where is m. john charles galliano? still paying back?  p.s. thanx pp… now who is the grouchy guy in the video? is that ezra on weight loss? anyhow, it’s still quite amazing… by dd
