The Best of Paris Haute Couture: Dior, Chanel, Valentino, Elie Saab, More

Christian Dior Haute Couture Fall 2011: It was the first Dior couture show without John Galliano at the helm in over a decade. Bill Gaytten, studio director of Dior, played a large role in putting the collection together. Reviews have been mixed: The New York Times called the collection a "hodgepodge" while Reuters reported that Dior's couture customers (among them a New York socialite and a Saudi Arabian princess) were actually quite pleased with the collection.
