Galliano's last stand

The best of John Galliano's final season at John Galliano

the hat: timeless and oversized in a way where it feels like a combination of multiple styles in history however unique on its own in todays fashion. Fantastic.

the shoes: came in beige and steel, but the steel looks like a burbury bag in its edgy, metallic and bold... like the guggenheim.

dress on the left will definitely be seen on the red carpet, so beautiful. Coat on the right has such a beautiful texture with the horizontal lines; the whole coat looks like cream.

as always Galliano shows dresses which don't necessarily follow recent times' trendy silhouettes (for example the mini dress with bold shoulders lasted about two years yet galliano didn't touch that area); this dress reminds me of the carousel dress in 2005 by Alexander McQueen that Sienna Miller wore- feminine, soft, cool and effortless.

amazing, old school as always, detailing and drop as it falls over the models body. Galliano's clothes put my mind into fantasy mode, this dress is what I imagine Mortitia Adams would wears in my ideal world. I love Mortitia.

a different rendition of the biker jacket; futuristic and an exaggerated silhouette. The contrast to the models fine and soft dress is perfect for the show.

if Isabel Marant had creative input on the show this would be hers; parisian, chic, preeminent street-style (or at least something to hope for in the near future)
