@susseinmcswanny, as you requested! 
John Galliano’s Spring/Summer 1998 ‘Haut Bohemia’ show for his eponymous brand was presented at Paris Fashion Week at the Chateau de Vincennes. The main inspiration for the collection was American actress Dorothy Dandridge, where a sweetheart neckline dress was named after one of Dandridge’s most popular movies, ‘Carmen Jones’. The collection featured solely a range of very feminine tailoring and dresses, with ikat prints used extensively alongside Guatemalan fabric in colours varying from white and cream for the opening of the show, to multi-coloured patterns styled in a clashing manner. The models wore statement accessories such as multi-layered colourful, beaded necklaces, diamond jewellery, oversized hats, gloves and small leather bags. The hair was at first stylized in short wavy marcel bobs which were later replaced with a wilder, wavy style and models coquetted and pranced around the ornate settings, languishing around a four-poster bed which seated some of the audience.
