Dale Magazine 16: July 2007
Oh July, July! The month of couture....and if we may believe the words in the press from these past few weeks it's going to be one of the most exciting couture weeks ever. Valentino celebrates 40 years in the biz and Galliano celebrates 60 years of New Look at the Versailles palace. I can't wait...but alas, tonight I'll go on vacation to Croatia and I doubt I'll have a lot of acces there to the internet. So when I'll get back, I am in for a huge surprise! But even if I am not here, July still needs a cover. So here's one hell of a Power Woman! Elsa Sylvan is celebrating her strong womanhood in a more than cool pose. Enjoy the Summer, people!

News: Dior Couture To Show In Versailles
Here's some wonderful news via wwd:GALLIANO'S GETTING BUSY JOHN GALLIANO is gearing up for one hell of a party. As Christian Dior prepares for its 60th anniversary this summer, rumour has it the British designer will stage a one-off couture show on July 2, inside Versaille's stunning Orangerie. According to WWD, models have already been booked and instructed to arrive an enormous eight hours before showtime - now that's a lot of hair and make-up. No stranger to fashion, the exact location was chosen for a Dior "Matrix"-themed couture show back in 1999. The palace itself, which hadn't permitted a fashion shoot for over 25 years, also miraculously opened its doors to the American Vogue team last year, for the memorable Kirsten Dunst cover shoot inspired by Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. If you can't make it to France for the show, John will also be making his way to London to throw a Champagne reception with British Vogue, at the V&A, during London Fashion Week on September 18. One of the world's most passionate ambassadors for the survival and genius of Haute Couture, Gallliano will be celebrating the gallery's opening of its aptly named exhibition, The Golden Age of Couture. (May 30 2007, AM) Louise Roe Naturally, I cannot wait...how awesome does this sound? Rumor also has it that there will be a fully installed choir and orchestra to do the music. That is said to be the last wish of Steven Robinson - Galliano's partner in crime who recently died - concerning the coming couture show. If Galliano won't go for the obvious, which would be a Marie Antoinette inspired collection, then this couture show (which will by the way mark the 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking New Look collection by Monsieur Dior himself) will be absolutely amazing. On the downside, I will be so so late for the party, because on July 2nd I will be on holiday in Croatia, only to return 10 days later. Damn it! I hope there'll be some internetcafes there, because I so cannot miss this!!
Dale Magazine 15: June 2007
Finally a cover that is posted in time! Anywho, June is one of my favourite months of the year, because it's that month just between Summer and Spring. So it's not too hot, just perfectly warm and nature is at it's greenest. So for June I had to use one of my favourite pictures of the past few weeks for the cover of Dale Mag 15. And that has to be this divine picture of Canadian Alana Zimmer. How perfect can it be? Who knew Mary could be totally fashionable? Well, here's the proof! The only suitable reaction to seeing this pic would be Holy Mother Of Couture!
