My favourite catwalk show of all time has to be John Galliano's 2007 show to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the house of Dior, at the 'Palace de Versailles'.
It was awe-strickenly beautiful, and with a price tag of more than 2 million, possibly one of the most expensive couture shows to create.
Supermodels such as Linda Evangelista, Shalom Harlow, Naomi Campbell, Nadja Auermann and Eva Herzigova paraded alongside Lily Cole and Erin O'Connor. While the front-row audience was equally starry, with singer Christina Aguilera and actors Drew Barrymore and Charlize Theron.
On the catwalk, chandeliers, broken statuary and ivy-covered gates were used to convey all elements of Christian Dior's home in the South of France.
Galliano chose to expose his interpretation of the sculpted corsetry that underlaid Dior's 1947 designs with see-through crinolines, fitted sheath dresses and elaborate gowns.
Beads, corsetry, applique, ruffles, lace...everything twinned with elegance, beauty and regalness was conveyed throughout the collection.
It is the most beautiful catwalk show I have seen, epitomising feminine beauty and putting Marie Antoinette to shame!
