For Christian Dior's fall 2010 couture collection, John Galliano studied the way light plays on the surface of a flower, and called upon the floral photography of Nick Knight and Irving Penn for inspiration – and the results are breathtaking. With both practical separates and fairy-princess-worthy gowns, and featuring a palette that includes dandelion yellow, blood red and pale lavender, Galliano's show celebrated elements of fantasy in fashion (including raffia belts and headpieces made to resemble a florist's colored celophane wrappers). After so many staid, practical fall collections, this one has certainly brightened up our day and made us remember how fun it is to play dress up.
What is your favorite look from this collection?

John Galliano's inspirations are always so obvious and that is what I love about him. He doesn't strip away the fantasy and fun from fashion. Always such a beautiful show - and so over the top! I love all of these looks.

Yeah, it's definitely hard to pick a favorite here, they are all so gorgeous. I really love the white and purple cinched waist dress (sixth down, far right), and all the big gowns. So pretty...
