Off topic:::

i'm dying to know

I didn't really take a good look, will make a point of it today when I go back...

i hate galliano's lines so for me to pay any type of compliment is a stretch:

galliano's clothes do work well on camera. while i would never personally wear anything or allow anyone i know to wear anything from his collection (not talking about dior here)...i have seen it work well with the mtv crowd both in public appearances and in videos. lenny kravitz, for example, always looks phenomenal in galliano.

and just in case you didn't know this, it's easy to get a sold out collection. all it means is your produced an extremely small amount and pre-sold it to your stylist friends. it never hits the rack, but you can say it sold out immediately.

i also 'hate' Galliano, but honestly i dont think he has to go into any trouble to a pre-sold-out premiere collection. I hope he has not produced too many items, still, he does not need to pre-sale to his stylist friends..

liking his style or not , lets be realistic Galliano sells, thats clear.

OK, Lena... Went back today, but I don't really know what to say. You know the store, it's a great mix of designer clothes and stuff in general. Gorgeous!

I noticed they had Moncler down jackets, the classic ones... Some colourful Pucci bags, Prada everywhere, Galliano homme/femme, Lanvin. In particular this black, armless, kneelength, slim dress with tiny silvery/pewtery metal "tubes" about 2 cm long sewn on it, totally covering it. And a big zip on the back. Amazing! It's probably their signature piece from the season and I just don't know it... Anyway, they still have the f/w stuff on display so nothing really new to spot, yet.


Oh, re Galliano, I have to say that I am actually a fan of his line of womens wear.

And while were on the subject of homme/femme and designers, I find it schizophrenic how some labels are so totally out of sync with their mens/womens wear. I know this isn't something new, it's been like this for a very long time. Different designers handle different depts, and they work independantly.

from wwd of today :

John Galliano kicked off couture week with his Egyptian extravaganza for Christian Dior on Monday, and tonight, he’s presenting the main event for the start of men’s fashion week in Paris. Staging the first runway show for his new signature men’s collection, Galliano is sure to get the fur flying. “Full-on furs for boys? Why not?” the designer said during a preview, showing off a picture in his inspiration book of John Wayne on a movie set sporting a co-star’s fur chubby with his cowboy hat between takes. Besides fur coats, Galliano has also added fuzzy moon boots and hats to style into the mix. Having introduced bias cuts to tailored suits for his debut line, Galliano plans to extend the technique to shirts and even trenchcoats. But expect a mad mix of references, from Casanovas to hustlers. Don’t be surprised if a model leaps onto your lap.

Dior Homme is opening a new store in NY in the next couple of weeks! SOooooo excited for the "strip" collection to come out.

Nvr seen any of Galliano men's wear but I heard that its nothing special and overpriced... I would take Hedi's Dior any day.

You can also find dior homme at Jefferys and Barneys

a friend of mine was at galliano's menswear show today in Paris, it was in a cirque, lots of furs and lots of cute semi naked quys.. he just called me after the show, he sounded bored but he said the 'spectacle' was really worth it.

I saw a sample of the line at Jeffrey in NYC. The tailored pieces looked alright. The T's were a little campy in typical Galliano fashion. I liked some of it, but way too overpriced! I'll stick w/ Hedi at Dior at that level of pricing. I see hype!

agreed, $700 for a SWEATSHIRT? WTF??? $300 for a t-shirt???

It's all over the place in NYC, Bergdorf, Saks, Jeffrey's and Bagutta...

That's nothing new to me.

Dior's t-shirts all cost around 300, and I've even seen some for $900+ (albeit the $900 one was elaborately detailed, but not THAT elaborate)
