& does em well. What an amazing collection &, finally, an inspired set of inspirations. No ONLY Leigh Bowery, no ONLY 80s [as per coutorture, thanx ya]. Fabulous, fabulous & grand.
I might be able to write a funnier description, but i cannot write a better one than coutorture's for this, one of John G's more amazing & one of his bestest collection in my memory: John Galliano loves taking inspiration from moments in history so rich with possibilities that they make standbys like "The 80's" seem positively lazy. This season, at Christian Dior, it was French designer Paul Poiret's Eastern-influenced designs that served as a starting point for Galliano. Where some designer's might stick to just "The East" in the broadest sense of the term, Galliano looked at The East through Poiret who looked at The East through Europe at the turn of the century.
Not these, probably, i think these are just both digitally & analogally [analogly? i dont think theres a word] manipulated scales. But gorgeous stuff. Dig those heels. The whole collection's nice.
Despite being known for her fierce, no-nonsense design aesthetic, British designer Hannah Marshall couldn't have been sweeter or more accommodating when we met her at the Centre For Fashion Enterprise pop-up showroom. This Fall, Marshall confidently stood behind the return of the strong shoulder and created a collection based on the concept of body armor--that which both protects and gives strength to the wearer. Some pieces could take the expression 'second skin' and, although the collection is shown in black, many looks will also retail in steel grey or midnight ink as well. Check out Marshall's Fall 2009 look book images along with a few of our snapshots from the showroom below.
