Wow. . .this collection literally made me gasp out loud from the first pic.
I would love to pick apart his brain. . such creative genius!

....Same old.....blah blah blah.....zzz

This seems rather harsh. The sheer technical execution of this is jawdropping, so I can't see how anyone can justifiably call it boring.

At first look, it did seem rather anachronistic to me--both because it's such a spectacle, and because there are an overwhelming number of historical/personal references.

But looking at it again, a few things really stand out:
--I love the way he transposed what are traditionally ornaments (birds/flowers) into the fabric and structure of the pieces....not the first time it's been done for sure, but beautifully done, nevertheless.
--I *love* the gauzey, transparent fabrics over the white shapes--reminds me of fluttering drapery on greek sculptures and in botticelli paintings. The trapped petals are lovely too....movement and stillness at the same time.

Also liked the body padding, but I haven't figured out a good reason yet.

I have not been so inspired by a collection in so long...its like the emotion when hearing your favorite melancholy bittersweet song...

so gothic, dark, cartoonish, distorted but beautiful at the same time... in the right proportion to each other . Its the feeling you get when you see the beauty and pain in the world rolled into one.

Those sheer white dresses with the embroidery are so ethereal. Exquisite. I must say, though, I do not like the super wide hips/shoulders look. It takes away from the designs in my opinion

It is like Mr. Galliano would be giving lessons to McQueen
the collection is so Galliano, but it doesnt is of course
and It is ok, just that it doesnt work for me now!!!
maybe several, several, years ago...
