Couture week begins with Dior

Both Kylie and Dita von Teese sat front row this afternoon to see what John Galliano had to offer, and they watched an extravagant parade of equestrian themed outfits parade down the runway. And, of course, the man himself embraced the theme for his finale, taking his bow wearing jodhpurs, a riding coat and a top hat.

Giorgio Armani Prive follows this evening. The designer is reportedly not pleased at having been bumped from his usual time slot by Dior. And the hot ticket for the week is of course Chanel, which is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Noticeably absent from the line up is Christian Lacroix - the label sadly went into administration last year and this season is the first since 1987 that it hasn't presented a couture collection.
