Hey guys, I'm back again and so is Galliano with the newest Haute Couture collection. Galliano was asked the question "What do you think about the recession?" to which he really provided a great answer: "There's a credit crunch, not a creative crunch. Of course, everyone is being more careful with their discretionary purchases. I am. But it's our job to make people dream, and to provide the value in quality, cut, and imagination."
Indeed, this is exactly how a designer should provide to his clients. To me, this collection is not one of my favourites, but it's also not one which I find disappointing. In fact, it seems to be lovelier when you view it again and again.
Galliano's inspiration came from Flemish painters and Monsieur Dior, and he chose to use solid colours of gold and soft blues of Vermeer at the start of the collection towards the middle. I don't really find those pieces outstanding, but the elaborate lace collars and sleeves were just fantastic.
Of the entire collection, my favourite pieces would have to be those in ivory and black, not forgetting some with the flowery prints and embroideries. The collection seemed to get better when Galliano didn't stick so closely to his inspiration. Here are some of the best pieces of this collection.
