This is looking great so far! And I can't help but love the hair as usual

The pictures in the beginning are for everybody to see the collection for the first time. HQs and better pictures get uploaded later on in the thread, so even if these get deleted it's not a problem, is it.
I feel like Galliano has more fun under his own label than he does with Dior. The midnight blue dress is beautiful.
Most of it is either just dull or absurd (the brightly-colored looks). Take away the outlandish makeup and the ludicrous poses at the end of the runway, and what's left?There are a few nice pieces in here. I feel like there's nothing to tie this collection together and he just threw a bunch of random things together to make it look "different". I don't see Galliano's usual level of innovation here.
Well first off ... the venue is so much better than the recent ones. I was not liking the bubbles and smokes and stuff. It was too distracting.
Secondly, this looks like old Dior-lite which is not bad. It feels closer to him, but somehow something is still lacking in this. Maybe it's the less usage of cross referencing which he was a genius at or maybe lack in interesting cuts ..... maybe both ? Either way, it's missing some magic !!! John Galliano is very responsible for making me dream and all I am doing is snoring.
From what I remember Salvatore you and I are die hard pre 2006 Galliano fans, and I think we can both agree he has rarely if ever recreated the same magic in his shows since then. People argue he is too restricted at Dior which I dare say is a little true but some of his best shows (a/w couture 2003 s/s couture 2004, s/s rtw 2004) have been at Dior. But the fact he has almost totally free reign at his eponymous line demonstrates that something has gone wrong with Galliano as they are still totally lacking that special Galliano magic. Even his end poses have become far less referenced and much more literal - case in point a sailor at dior where as a/w 2003 he wore a suit with a pelt, which referenced but didn't rein-act.
Saying that this collection, on Gallianos new terms at least has bettered his previous few offerings, and god bless the return of whimsical inappropriate props on the runway.

If this were the collection of a lesser-known label, people here would be saying that this is so "boring".
Can't wait for Chanel on Tuesday!
