Photos of John Galliano's Collections for Dior, 1996-2011

With John Galliano out the door at Dior, so, too, went the theatrics, the elaborate sets, and the exaggerated makeup and silhouettes. And, with the recent news that Raf Simons — a designer celebrated for his refined sensibility and minimalist aesthetic — has been named artistic director, it's safe to say that the era of exposed posteriors and breasts that dominated Galliano's tenure is definitely gone for good as well. Here, a look back at the Dior that was, 1996-2011. (NSFW)
