I’m tempted to draw just about every look in this collection. Dior’s deliciously tropical (ooh, do we see a reoccurring theme, here?) Spring line is reminiscent of 50′s-era pinup girls in a technicolor South Pacific dream. I love the flouncy skirts and GIANT cat-eye sunglasses. The line avoids looking costume-y, and manages to seem fresh while still nodding respectfully to it’s inspiration.
The illustration was done on toned brown paper and gouache, then cut out and glued into my sketchbook, because I wanted to clean up the edges and make the bodies more simple and implied. There will be more paper cutout and gouache coming tomorrow, I had a lot of fun with this technique!

Note:
I wrote this post earlier in the week. And, for those of you who read the news, I might note that while I think Galliano is a brilliant designer, I in no way support or stand behind his recent and reprehensible behavior. Ugh!
