Despite the recent horror stories surround Christian Dior, John Galliano's final show of fifteen years with the fashion house deserves a big applause. It was absolutely breathtaking, and a true example of Galliano's talent, vision, and showmanship. The tent was decorated as Galliano's fans may have expected, a classic chandelier-ed parlor surrounded by gardens, and the clothing spoke for itself. The Style.Com reviewer felt the collection did not represent the designer's imagination as much as showing the couture collection may have been, but I felt it was respectful of the situation, and presented a more approachable Galliano.
Like many of the Fall ready to wear shows, the romantic and Gothic eras were inspiration, and softer colors and silhouettes finished the show. Lush fabrics and furs were paired with deep reds, greens, and golds to start, and delicate whites were detailed with feminine layers, embroidery, and feathers. Go here to see the complete collection; some of my favorites are below, starting with his opening look.
PS: This is what I wore today.
