That piece cracks me up!

Does anybody (by "anybody", I mean "any man") actually buy this? I know of 2 different stores who had to stop carrying his menswear line due to poor sales ..

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

theres maybe like 2 little things i might wear as a show stoper but over all this is just way to big and crazy. Some one said somthing before comparing the zoolander movie to this and its sooo right! haha

i really wounder what a "clean" menswear line would look like from him.

^ Yeah I wonder about that as well!

And pardon my ignorance, but what is a 'kefiyah'? I have never heard of it

i completely agree. at least there are some redeeming things amid all this ridiculousness....if you really focus on that specifically. i still say that the tailoring is great,and those pieces with the jewel detailings.....i also think the boots are superb. but having said that also,i really wish he could do with his menswear as he did with his womenswear this past season. one would have hoped that it would have carried into it but apparently he's still carrying with the same repetitive ideas....nothing fresh.

here's the thread on it in trendspotting

its basically a scarf that signifies support for Palestine and has become quite popular in fashion lately. They pattern was all over Balenciaga f/w 07-08

I have few words for this collection, other than "tasteless" and "dreadful".

[SomethingElse]

Terrorists in the 'hood. Nonetheless, here is the link to the collection at vogue.fr: http://www.vogue.fr/mode/defiles/col...liano-2573.htm

What do you think goes through the heads of all of the high-powered fashion elite as they sit in the front row and watch this horror show unfold?

[Royal-Galliano]

sometimes i wish galliano had no head!
its like a cold war between him and donatella.
first i wanted to not post here because the collection is just rubbish
but why not.


i cant really wait for a new theme for his male collections to grow up in his head because this one is really too much.

Galliano never fails to disgust me.

[Forwardmotionis]

but come on guys the couture stuff!! he aint that bad

is it just me or is he really short? (i was just looking at the photos again...)

[JamieCD]

mhn J looks like an abused hoocker in Montmartre. Most ppl comment abt his collection but actually its really hard to find his stuffs.

Btw what is shown in the catwalk is not what to be sold in store!
