Gorgeous venue, and that floorlength black robe on Du Juan is stunning as well, but the clothes themselves just don't do the location justice.

If, as dior_couture already mentioned, Galliano were to show a collection inspired by ancient China, or Gaultier had taken his f/w 01 couture collection to the Great Wall it would've made perfect sense and been an extremely fabulous show.

I don't really think the comparison between this and having a Starbucks in the middle of a historical site is quite the same. Starbucks in the Forbidden City makes it more of a touristy amusement than a historical site, this is a temporary presentation that's meant primarily to bring in attention rather then profits involved with the event itself.

Fashion show at the pyramids....there's something to aspire to

I think that a no-name coffee shop replaced it.

I'm one of the people who believe that starbucks should be banned from the Forbidden city.

Dior Haute Couture SS 03 would have been the most amazing show ever if it were to have been shown on the Great Wall!
