Galliano's World

The Swelle Life14-1  

What would a John Galliano show be without, well, the show? His fairy-tale theatrics, full-on costume and love of make-up that renders the models almost unrecognisable are a highlight of Paris fashion week. Whether it's relevant or not doesn't seem to be of concern to Galliano, he's in his own world and his shows are about bringing us into it.

This time he beckoned us into a snowy winter wonderland of Russian-Balkan folklore, its heavily clothed and adorned characters looking as if they'd walked out of a painting and onto the catwalk, then mellowed out with long and sheer chiffon dresses, as seen above.

And, the best part of any Galliano show: Galliano himself, as he takes his most humble, figurative bow (I think he may have got confused and thought the runway was the Potomac):

Next year, when I take all my money & fly me & my mini-tribe to Paris, it will be all your fault Denise Grayson!

This is just too much! I can't stand it!:-)

Luckie.
