Dior opens for local designers IN the not so distant past, local designers happily passed off Saint Laurent silhouettes and Armani deconstruction as their own, but on day two of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, Jayson Brunsdon and Toni Maticevski knocked on, rather than knocked off, Christian Dior. Both shows were fitting tributes to the history of fashion's most famous house, taking note of Raf Simons's successful work with Dior following the unfortunate exit of John Galliano.
