@fashion_archive_: #fashion #Runway #dior Dior Spring 1998 Couture, designed by John Galliano, was a theatrical and romantic spectacle inspired by the opulence of the Belle Époque and the grandeur of early 20th-century fashion. The collection celebrated exaggerated silhouettes, with tightly corseted waists, cascading skirts, and extravagant embellishments such as lace, feathers, and floral appliqués. Galliano paid homage to Christian Dior’s New Look while pushing couture to fantasy extremes, blending historical references with dreamlike artistry. Each look was styled like a living portrait, complete with elaborate headpieces and makeup, transforming the runway into a moving tableau of vintage elegance and haute couture drama.
