B.W. COOK -- The Look

The Christian Dior spring and summer 2001 fashion collection comes

from Europe to Costa Mesa with specially designed and selected

merchandise for the highly fashionable woman living on the Orange Coast.

The 2001 line from Dior includes styles with names such as

“Camouflage,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Hide and Seek,” “Marquis” and

“Mystic Evening.” The inspiration for these fashions comes from worldwide

influences, with considerable emphasis on the design philosophy of the

Far East.

A spring and summer 2001 in-store trunk show, held recently at the

Christian Dior Boutique at South Coast Plaza displayed these fashions for

the first time in Orange County. Christine Sutton, Dior’s Orange County

representative, also introduced the local audience to the fine jewelry

line of Christian Dior.

The Look features model Lori Lively.
