John Galliano Fall/Winter 2011 RTW

The news of Galliano being let loose from Dior may have taken fashion headlines, but we mustn't forget that John Galliano's namesake label is now also void of a designer.   For Fall/Winter 2012, the Galliano collection seemed particularly reminiscent of Dior.  It may have just been due to the recent events, but it's hard not to make this connection with the fur, slanted hats, signature Dior silhouette, and Boho dresses moving from the Dior runway, to that of Galliano's.  This collection was shown in an intimate setting in a salon, with models slinking around as if they were simply at home.  It started off with the classic thirties slim waist, updated with frayed ends, latex skirts and fur collars:

Then printed and sheer dresses came out, sometimes being worn underneath big, artfully tailored coats:

To finish it all off, sheer, satiny and sparkly were all blended into masterfully designed dresses (with the second forest green dress being my favourite):

What is to become of this label is uncertain, but at least it gives the fashion world a glimmer of hope that Galliano is not all lost.
