Celebrating René Gruau
John Galliano's Spring 2011 Couture line for Dior was a beautiful tribute to fashion illustrator René Gruau. Renown for his breathtaking watercolor fashion sketches and masterful contrast of graphic color against negative space, Gruau became a celebrated artist in the 1940's and 50's. Gruau was hired by Christian Dior to be the advertising director for the design house. The two eventually forged a friendship, and Galliano's tribute collection is a reminder of what the House of Dior once was.
