Robin Givhan is not mincing words about how ugly she finds the Christian Dior spring 2007 collection. She thinks the clothes she saw presented yesterday at the Paris fashion show were hideous. In fact, she finds it hard to convey 'the full jaw-dropping ungainliness' of this collection.

To top off the lousy clothes, the Dior models were sporting constrained pageboy hairstyles that looked like 'large mushroom caps' on top of their heads.
