SOUNDBITE (English) John Galliano, Fashion Designer: \"And I chanced upon these fantastic pictures which were very rare in the archives of Mr. Dior, and sort of different personalities where he had this relationship with the girls, a very playful, very joyful, and the girls were in very states of undressed. They\'d be in a bra with a couture skirt, or they would be in a bar jacket but with just the gurdel on, and I imagined the giggling as the girls getting ready, making themselves up, preparing themselves, and someone starts saying the show has to start, and they haven\'t been completely dressed, but the show had to go on. So that was kind of the concept.\" 7. Side shot of Galliano, pan to wide shot 8. More catwalk 9. Wide shot of models walking out together 10. Galliano walks out to catwalk 11.

Wide shot of crowd STORYLINE COUTURE OFF TO SHEER START AT HALF-DRESSED DIOR In these times heavy with financial worry, Paris\' winter 2010 haute couture displays got off to a light start Monday, with sheer fabrics taking center stage at Dior\'s half-dressed display and at budding French labels Stephane Rolland and Alexis Mabille. Normally winter is the season of lush cashmeres and snugly wools, but Paris\' couturiers opted instead for feather-light crepe silks and suggestively sheer tulles inspired by 1940s undergarments. At Christian Dior, madcap British designer John Galliano paid homage to the women who made a living modeling the New Look styles that catapulted Dior to fashion legend after World War II. Except that Galliano\'s models looked as if they\'d been wrenched from the dressing rooms halfway through their wardrobe changes: Models wore a waspwaisted bar jacket with just a garter belt and stockings or a bubble skirt with a bra -- but rarely both elements of Dior\'s legendary skirt suits at the same time. \"I imagined the ladies backstage sort of making themselves up and someone saying the show has to start but they hadn\'t been really dressed. But the show had to go on,\" Galliano told in a backstage interview after the show -- which was held on Avenue Montaigne, where Dior\'s favorite models once presented his creations to clients. Models in various stages of undress -- albeit polished undress -- padded languidly across the plush gray carpets of the Dior flagship, striking pouting poses as they meandered through the beehive of salons. Hourglass-shaped dresses in vibrant jewel tones dipped in the back to reveal the suggestive laces of a tightly cinched corset. A flesh-colored slip peeked out from beneath a knee-length dress, its sexy silk undermining the dress\' straight-laced seriousness. The skirt of a strapless ballgown in embroidered pink duchess satin was cut out in front and back to frame the model\'s stockinged legs. The innerwear-as-outerwear look extended as far as the shoes, black heels fitted with a network of bra- and garter straps. Galliano agreed that his pairing of innerwear with a single standout piece could be seen as a response -- of sorts -- to the crisis.
