Them There Eyes: Eva Green
I’ve been watching Camelot recently, and every episode it occurs to me that Eva Green has the most bewitching eyes I’ve ever seen. Here are those eyes on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK (June 2011).

John Galliano for Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011
Oh god, kill me now! I can die happy after this collection. It’s Galliano’s tribute to Christian Dior’s fashion illustrator, Rene Gruau, who made the New Look so iconic in the 1940s and 50s. Perhaps I’ll post some Gruau illustrations to let you see just how strong the influence is here. It also reminds me of Gene Kelly and An American in Paris, which I watched again recently. Oh Galliano, marry me! Or more to the point, dress me!
Here is the entire collection. I would normally just post my top picks, but I feel this one stands as a whole. Enjoy!
