• ‘Christian Dior’s July 2 couture show is shaping up to be a blockbuster. First came the news that the models have been asked to arrive at the venue—a little place called Versailles—eight hours before showtime. Now we hear that none other than Naomi, Christy, Linda, and Kate will be walking the runway. (The last time John Galliano came close to having that much supermodel superpower on his catwalk was Dior’s Fall 2005 couture show—and that season, Christy and Kate were otherwise occupied.) What’s more, the fantastic foursome is said to be hosting the house’s 60th anniversary after-party. Marie Antoinette, eat your heart out’ reports UK Vogue.
