Ehm... The Dior logo print bags and accessories don't appeal to me at all, and I don't think they really appeal to anyone unless they also have a penchant for the Burberry check. I do think that Galliano brings drama and fantasy to Dior and while some of his stuff is questionable a lot of it is truly magnificent . x x x

I was never interested in Galliano's work since the only collections I've seen from him were horrible. I think that his early couture shows are beautiful, and I loved his latest one too, it was my favorite.
thanks for all the pictures, j'adore. where are you taking them from? i have seen some of them in the galliano book by colin mcdowell and others in 'her style: odile gilbert' but the last set seems new to me or i'm being senile again....
there really was something very vital and exciting about his early dior collections, like a glass of champagne whereas he now throws with bottles...
however, i have to admit i actually prefer galliano before dior
some of the pictures are scaned from a Spanish mag called lecturas, especial alta costura or hola alta costura (hello), and pictures that i´ve collected through the years from the web.
for his fall 99 rtw presentation he replaced furry volumes with chunky knits (a huge trend that season), in his collection inspired by Modigliani masks:

for his fall 99 couture catwalk called "The Millenium Show" held on l´orangerie from the chateau de Versailles, Galliano mixed hunting references from the past and the future taken from the matrix, English hunting and still life paintings that inspired those rather controvercial fox and faisans head pieces.

for spring 2000 Galliano staged a three act collection in wich the saddle bag and the logo print debuted (the logo mania was one of that season biggest trends), that season also marked the beginning of the sexed up ad campaigns and dare i say the current days of Galliano at Dior.
