Ukrainian high fashion?














As always is John Galliano on another level than most of his fellow designers. I would say that a collection like this, as so many before it by John, is a show that can only work in Paris, and only John Galliano can pull it of without making it a total disaster. What John does best is telling us a story, and tell it well, so that you feel the atmosphere and the history that surrounds each and every piece of the collection. John Galliano has a fantastic talent for seeing high fashion in the smallest things and create something beautiful out of it. This year it was the ukrainian culture that Galliano laid his eyes on. In some way it's very hard to wear, but I have now several experienced that when I go the Galliano shop in Paris on Rue Faubourg St. Honoré, the clothes seem so wearable. Because when you take away all the makeup, and the lights, and the skinny models, you can see how well made the dresses are made, and how one can actually wear it. Perhaps not a hole set, but just one piece used at the time is fab. Another amazing feature to this years show was the light on the catwalk. The set designers made a tunnel of light made by laser, so that all the dust in the room fell trough the light and looked like snow, which is perfect for a winter show! It was like a fairy tale. Very magical as a Galliano show always is.
