John Galliano’s Chris­t­ian Dior show in Paris this week pre­sented a grand por­trait of con­tem­po­rary disha­bille: what is worn under and over. How women approach their clos­ets, in under­gar­ments or half-clothed, isn’t a new con­cept in fash­ion, still, doesn’t this per­spec­tive speak to the heart of any­one get­ting dressed in the morn­ing? If you aren’t already dan­gling large faux pearls from your neck, then you’ve donned your out­fit and have gone off in search of that bit of je-ne-sais-quois for jew­elry. Ah! That pin will do nicely, merci.
