“After women, flowers are the most heavenly creation.” — Christian Dior

Dior Garden Party spring 2012 collection was inspired by the flowers, and especially roses, that Christian Dior planted in his garden at his house in Granville, on the cliffs of Normandy. The location buffeted by strong winds, was seemingly unsuited to the creation of a garden but the flowers bloomed. And now the theme is still alive in this collection, which features beautiful pastel shades of pinks, lilacs and lime green decorated with stunning floral prints. Here’s what the collection includes:

GARDEN CLUTCH (€74.00)
The star of the collection, it features a glossy light pink leather-like shell, adorned with a woven pattern & sealed by a “Rosebud” clasp. Inside is a trio of delicate rose-embossed eye shadows, one shade of Dior Ultra-Gloss and one Lip Maximizer. Available in two color harmonies: Milly Garden #001 (blues and pinks) and Granville Garden #002 (green, brown and pinks).

5-COULEURS GARDEN EDITION (€55.00)
Available in Garden Pastels (greens, pink and yellow) and Garden Roses (pinks, silver and purples).

DIORSKIN ROSY GLOW (€43,00)
Available in Petal, it is said to “adjust to the moisture level of each skin type to give a fresh, customized colour”.

Available in Socialite Pink (#152), Party Lilac (#396) and Pretty Rose (#452).
