I guess it's not about wearing everything on the runway but more wearing pieces, M-I-X-A-N-D-M-A-T-C-H

good call on the mix and match i forgot to point that out. But it doesnt take away from how bad 95% of the collection is. I have been showing this collection to people, who know or care very little about fashion, to get there reactions, and my favorite one was, "are all fashion designers on drugs". Although it is quite progressive I don't think galliano's timing is right.

Well, personally, I'm loving it all. I'm not attracted to gay men and their dress (i.e. andrew mackenzie), personally. No offense intended , but even I can see that one can pick out items JG has designed and find them wearable. Granted not everything would be, but his shows are not necessarily made to convey that. They are more of a theatrical production, provocative and aimed to excite. The music, the models, the theme, the clothing and the way he brings all those elements together and clearly indicate that. Of course the term 'ready-to-wear' is quite the misnomer in this case but so be it. I think he's incredible. Daring. Inspirational. A conceited visionary...yet wonderfully real at the same time.

And I personally agree with birdofparadise when he says:
Of course, I could never AFFORD to buy that jockstrap for my bf BUT, man, I sure would love to see him in this cute little number:

The fact that it displays so beautifully the body God gave you works for me. Of course, the little neck-tie, cap and boots would not be on him at the same time...but it looks good for Clément during Paris fashion week

Also, how is something like [much of] this 'not-wearable'?

I could do without the yellow logo, yes, but the cut works.

Same with much of this:

And, neither scream 'gay' at me. I don't feel that is quite JG's case this season...or even last for that matter.

Now, I do have to admit that much of A/W 2004 did scream it but, again, it's all in the way the man wears it. If a man is straight, comfortable with his masculinity, confident and wearing anything from the last two seasons, he can quite possibly blow ones mind. If he is gay, comfortable with who he is and confident, he can make of the collection what he wishes, and also blow ones mind. It's all in the man and his intentions. I did not find anything this season or last particularly 'gay' though

Whew. Now, I'm rather out of breath and quite possibly no one will give a damn that I feel so passionate on the subject of Mr. Galliano, but I feel good to have gotten it out.

Aimee my love--you have a great perspective on the real aim of the Galliano extravaganza--a bit like Wagner in his day and nothing like Orlando and Dawn! Personally would not be caught in a newspaper hat, but the show is dazzling!

Well.. I find this collection interesting.. Lots of pieces i would'nt wear at all, but there's lots of stuff i really like too
Quite typical when it comes to John Galliano though inspired by flowers and lots of colors Perhaps he should "tone it down" a bit.. If you see my point

this collection is not too bad, typical galliano style i think.

although galliano's clothes may not be wearable per se, his clothes are quite unique and different than the usual men's pieces from most other designers. as another forum member mentioned, it's not about wearing head to toe galliano, it's about taking certain pieces and incorporating it into your daily wardrobe. And because galliano's pieces are so interesting and unique, they can accentuate and make your usual daily wear much more attractive and appealing.
