Dior Couture: 30% 1980s, 70% Gypsy Rose

Dior Couture stomped down the runway in sassy colors in silhouettes that were simultaneously voluminous and risque. While the collection reminded many of the ever-ominous 80's revival, I could not ignore its similarities to the famous 1940's burlesque dancer, Gypsy Rose Lee.

The resemblence matches up, as both concepts maintain an air of excess and a play-hard attitude:

And if you're real good,

I'll make you feel good.

I want your spirit to climb.

So let me entertain you,

And we'll have a real good time!

Yes Sir!

We'll have a real good time!
