John Galliano F/W 08.09 Paris - Page 7

**Spike413** · 01-03-2008

I'm definitely, definitely getting a Salome vibe from all of this. The colors, the sheerness, the setting, the drama, the turbans.

As others have said, it's not as strong as his last two namesake collections, but it's not bad by any stretch of the imagination.

Who knows though, seeing the whole collection could easily change my tune.

^ I agree with you.
And for me his shows are not only about the clothes, but it's the whole show that counts, and I think I'm going to love this. But still, I'll have to wait for the video to give final judgement...

I'm not getting Salome from this, unless it's Oscar Wilde advertisements for Salome, I am getting Uber-outrageous flapper from this, with the tassels on the sleeves of one gown like an Erte drawing, fringing everywhere, cute granny knits only in bold colours, shapeless transparent dresses, I really like that.
I think the hairpieces and makeup really distracts from the great clothes. I am so glad he and many others did a lot of colour this season, I wasn't eager to slip into another Great Depression of solid black for six months like this past winter.
Really liking this collection.

I have a feeling that he somehow took his inspiration from some movie. Natasha carrying that Oscar around makes me thing that it was a movie for which an actress won an Oscar back when. Now I might be a filmstudent, but I don't have complete recollection of all movies that ever won an Oscar

Anyone know of a movie centering around harems and maharadzja's?

I don't understand what people are looking at to say that this collection is bad?
I have to say, NO it isn't as good as previous seasons but this is FAR from a bad collection.
My favorite part is the actual clothes.
This time around I think the make up and setting is a little on the annoying side which is sad because in previous seasons the make up, hair, and setting enhanced the clothes.
That would be my only disappointment.
I can't wait to see some detail shots and a video!

I couldn't agree more.

Anyone with a catwalking account willing to post the collection?

I feel like I'm on the same boat as you, Sal. I think once I read what Galliano was thinking about this season, I'll probably appreciate it more...the way he talks about his inspiration is always so inspiring and the passion he has for it rubs off on you.

JordanB · 01-03-2008

Interesting. Looks fun, but not really my cup of tea.

Alejandro · 01-03-2008

just saw the full collection........ IT'S HAMMER TIME!!

sassyposh · 01-03-2008

i love this! so theatrical!

j´adore dior · 01-03-2008

So far what I like the most are his iconic pieces mingling between, that soft blue dress with red embroidery, that bias cut number with tassels on the sleeves, Natasha´s dress and so on, the set reminds me of his summer 99 collection inspired by Nijinsky and I don´t find the make up and head pieces distracting at all, they help built the theme and without them it would be so... so unGalliano, the models are performing as they did when I fell in love of his shows, cool!

Alejandro · 01-03-2008
