John Galliano - Designer

[eugenius]

I love this gown here. She wore a few Margiela pieces on the red-carpet, but this one’s most memorable IMO.

The MET's got that look! Their website is gatekeeping af and won't post HQ. But I'll post what I ripped off lol

I love John Dior but the energy at Manson was just better. Because it wasn't for the masses it was for fashion people it was for us !

My favourite: an exquisite amalgamation of Balenciaga, Charles James and Japan.

I felt rather taken aback by his first Artisinal Men's collection (Spring 2019). And it was before the set ups really started to get too over whelming and the imposed austerity really allowed the garments/looks shine. Plus the model walks weren't too much. Especially love this look:

The following Haute Couture show I enjoy still to this day too. Not so much because of the garments themselves, but the silhouettes were rather sublime. If only they didn't do the platform tabi, purely to allow the models to walk a little more confidently in what were some rather compromising looks/styling.

And a double post here (sorry ya'll) but I don't know if I really want to see more Galliano doing another brand. Or maybe if he were, a JPG collaborative collection would be great mainly for the sake of fun it may bring. Emphasis on may bring though.

But besides that, I dunno... I don't want to be nostalgic for a bygone era in fashion and nor do I want it to come back, but at the same time fashion is rather bleak. The maudlin feel of his last collection with no follow up - which was a shame really, a RTW counterpart would have lifted parts of it for the better - left me feeling rather empty. Great techniques, but it felt too precious.

I kind of agree, it would be legacy Overkill. Also success really is measured in numbers when it comes to fashion. And he was not successful enough in his own Brand he made some bad mistakes when it came to contracts. But time will tell

In a fashion talk, my best orgasms were in Galliano´s bed.

"I was reading through some old comments on Dior collections, and I found that Galliano got a lot of criticism. For Dior Pre-Fall 2008, someone said,

“10 years are a lot of time to a designer learn how to make great clothes, and I think Galliano didn't learn tll now the essence of making great clothes, more than that, he didn't learn how to make clothes that look Dior”

Honestly, if I were Galliano, I’d go crazy too. Sure, it’s a commercial collection that looks pretty similar to his previous ones, but it’s so much better than today’s fashion. I get it, it’s a different time, different context, and it’s probably not fair to compare. But still, I can’t help but wonder—if those people saw Dior today, would they faint?"

Fall asleep more likely.
