Fashion's defining moment? You decide.

What was fashion's defining moment? Jackie's trend-setting appearance at the 1960 Presidential inauguration? The launch of Marc Jacobs' infamous 1992 "grunge" collection? Grace Kelly's debut of what came to be known as Hermès' "Kelly Bag" in 1956?

Happy Birthday to...

...the House of Dior!

This week, the glitterati of the fashion and entertainment worlds converged on Versailles to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the House of Dior. And host John Galliano had an anniversary of his own to celebrate--his 10th anniversary as the couture house's head designer.

As Lisa Armstrong from The Times of London reported,

1947 was a busy year for Christian Dior: he invented The New Look--that wasp-waisted, full-skirted, fabric-gobbling, unashamedly nostalgic silhouette that had some denouncing him as an antipatriot. Most women loved it. And love it still.
...

Nowadays a model is lucky if her career lasts 18 months. Flailing designers are signed up and spat out of fashion houses in two seasons. Galliano has held down the job as head designer at Dior for the fashion equivalent of eternity. He was appointed the year that Tony Blair became Prime Minister. The difference is that ten years on there is no obvious successor to Galliano. His appointment, which was held to be something of a risk at the time, has turned out to be a critical and commercial smash.

So we're pleased to wish a very happy birthday to the House of Dior and a happy 10-year anniversary to its leader Galliano. We're all looking forward to many more years of fabulousness to come!

Happy birthday to the bra!

It was one hundred years ago, in 1907, that American Vogue first made reference to a newfangled women's undergarment called a "brassiere." With this small but momentous mention, women began to ditch their corsets in favor of the more body-friendly brassiere--later, simply "bra"--in droves. Was it just a sign of the times ... or the catalyst from which would spring the drive for women's rights?

Either way, this was a great milestone in women's history, and its centennial is well worth commemorating. We can think of few better ways to celebrate than by treating yourself to one of Graffiti Pink's delicious bra styles, like the State of Undress Yvette Pink Dove Balcony Bra at right.

After all, it's our heritage, ladies. Let's celebrate it right!
