...fashion show ever. What brought the semi-reclusive designer out to the Jardin des Plantes? Ask Sidney Toledano, president and chief executive of Christian Dior Couture, and he'll tell you: fraternit*. After all, Karl Lagerfeld, another legend who now designs for Chanel, was backstage taking photographs. And John Galliano, Dior's women's designer, was watching with actress Cate Blanchett in tow.

Dior designer JOHN GALLIANO, whose last couture line was inspired by homelessness, this time claimed the correspondence of Sigmund Freud sparked his desire to make clothes that a child might see while looking through the keyhole of his mother's boudoir. (Presumably Mrs. G. was not a T.J. Maxx shopper.) The show was staged as a mock wedding, with cross-bearing mandarins and gorilla women strolling down the runway to a sound track of orgasmic moans...

...ensure that he brings in the buzz that drives the biz, Arnault hires edgy, critically acclaimed young designers who never made a centime of profit when they ran their own houses but who excel at engaging, exciting and infuriating the fashion press. Arnault points to John Galliano's spring collections for Dior this year as typical of what he wants from his designers. "His ideas are not meant to be worn," Arnault says of the avant-gardish collection of bag-lady-style ball gowns, "but the ideas descend down to pret-a-porter and to everything in the line...
