As far as runway shows are concerned, Paris Fashion Week takes the cake for the most dramatic shows. As usual, Mr. John Galliano pulls out all the stops for an over the top show. Not only are his creations dramatic, the hair and makeup are usually taken to another level of drama as well. He's probably one of the biggest characters in the fashion industry - his shows are always animated, quirky, and unexpected. That's probably the reason why my bgf, EV, loves him so much!
Earlier this month he showcased three collections for Spring 2008 - 2 for Dior (Ready to Wear and Couture) and 1 for his own label, John Galliano (Ready to Wear).
Dior (Ready to Wear): This was probably his tamest show this season. Even the colors were tame - mostly black. The makeup was a bit dramatic but that's it. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still love his designs. I'm just saying that this show was not up to Galliano standards.
Dior (Couture): Dior's couture show was definitely in Galliano fashion - quirky, quirky, quirky. But what couture show isn't? Isn't that the point of couture shows? To go over the top? Well, I think if that's the point, I'm sorry to say that Galliano might have been upstaged by Christian Lacroix. Needless to say, they both put on a great show.
John Galliano (Ready to Wear): The most animated show of them all! This collection is fun, flirty, and light - perfect for spring. This collection shows off Galliano's design prowess - the clothes are not upstaged by the show he's putting on.
