Swift and husband Travis Kelce's choice of the venerable Parisian house for their New York wedding ensembles this weekend represented a major coup for the LVMH-owned brand.It also burnished the reputation of its low-key Northern Irish chief designer, 41, who was appointed almost exactly a year ago with the task of modernising all of Dior's fashion lines.

On the first day of Haute Couture Week, which featured a star-packed show from Schiaparelli and a galaxy-inspired Iris Van Herpen collection, Anderson sent out a highly wearable selection of heavily textured and pleated outfits.He appeared to soak up applause, wearing a denim shirt and dark green chinos, after the final dress -- a bridal outfit, as per tradition -- did its final round of the circular catwalk at the Rodin Museum in central Paris.-- Biggest stage -- Swift's choice of wedding dress had been the subject of speculation for months, with industry experts such as Vogue seeing her going for an American designer such as Ralph Lauren, or Vivienne Westwood which she wears regularly.
