DIONDID YOU INHERIT YOUR SENSE OF
STYLE? “I have 13 siblings, and
I was the last. I wore all their clothes.
At Christmas, what do you think we
received?” SOCKS? “Yeah. Clothing.
My mom didn’t have money to buy
it, so she made the clothes. She was
very sensitive to the cut of the moment,
if the pants were wide or narrow.
She was paying attention.” SOME SAY
YOU HAVE 10,000 PAIRS OF SHOES...
“I’m not quite sure. But I’m building
a new home in Las Vegas. I treated
myself to a playground: two stories of
archives for all my clothes, shoes,
belts. I kept everything. So I’ll be able to
count.” YOUR CURRENT OBSESSION?
“RVDK. Every piece they do is one of a
kind. And last time I went to Paris
Fashion Week, Valentino blew my mind.”
FAVORITE PAST FASHION MOMENT?
“John Galliano, the backward white
pantsuit [Oscars, 1999]. People thought,
Is that a joke? What is she trying
to say? I wasn’t trying to say anything.
I’m just having a great time.”Dion wears her own Ronald van der Kemp
gown and hat; hair products by L’Oréal Paris.THE VIRTUOSOS
