galliano galliano oh god galliano LIKE

Usually with reviews, I'm definitely not one who likes to put a myriad of photos and there at the bottom, insert a big 'LIKE!' to end off the post. I'm the one who yaks on and on and on, sometimes even too much for my own good. Unfortunately (or fortunately) this time round, I'm not going to write anything much for the Christian Dior Haute Couture collection, and would rather put a 'LIKE!' or a 'LOVE!' or an 'EPIC!' or an 'EFFFF YOU!' as captions of photos. Sometimes, collections such as these need no explanation or any review, they are just too beautiful and perfect for any sort of description (that would probably not do any justice to the clothes anyway).

Maybe someone would like to try matching these dresses to actual flowers, I am not a very gifted botanist so I'm passing this task on.

P.S. And did I mention that I somehow liked what John Galliano was wearing as he took his bow (which sometimes might be too over-the-top). Also, someone should seriously consider making a video montage of all of Galliano's finale bows.

Pen leak gone totally RIGHT!

The most amazing explosion of colours EVER on a dress! Did the rainbow just explode or is John Galliano an (effing) genius?!

The dress below is too perfect. This is probably the best use of tulle ever! LOVE!

Need I say more? TULLE!!!!! THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST USE OF TULLE I'VE EVER SEEN. (NOW THAT SOUNDED FAMILIAR.) I would gladly drown myself in tulle and be sent to tulle heaven and live happily (tulle) ever after.

LIKE,

LOVE,

EPIC,

EFFFFF YOU!!!!!

WHY SO AMAZING!?!?!?

friday favourites: john galliano fall 09

I know it says Friday in the title, and it's Saturday morning right now, but who cares. As stupid as this sounds, I fell asleep while sitting on my bed.

For every friday starting from today, I'm going to post collages of collections that have been stuck in my head all week. And because I know that you do not have such EPIC thoughts like mine, I'm gonna make you smile to yourself like a creepy fool during the weekends by making my thoughts (and these images) diffuse into your brain. MUAHAHA!

I've been pretty much obsessed with this John Galliano collection. I don't know whether to put the focus on the set, or the make-up, or the headpieces, or the shoes, or the clothes because I want to show everything to you guys. Simply because it was such a flawless collection, it was my favourite for that season. And by favourite, I mean FAVOURITE!

Ukrainian virgin brides, John Galliano had taken inspiration from somewhat a relatively untouched character. And it was a honest tribute to what Galliano stood for- exceptional theatrical showmanship. The set was an amazing illusion of sorts, made perfect by the "laser snow", which made the whole runway seemed like you know, a time tunnel that we usually see in movies, whatever method mad scientists used to time travel. Or it could be my imagination. Frozen eyelashes, melting snowflakes on the skin, an ombre lip, I wish snow would make me this beautiful but more often than so, I get cracked, swollen lips and shivering dull eyes. But I guess that was the magic of Pat McGrath's make-up. The play of volume and proportions, the workmanship of each pannier-hipped, balloon-sleeved, full-skirted coats, the intricate embroidery, the headpieces, the bias-cuts, everything was perfect even to the finest details of a thread and a ribbon. The only one thing that I wasn't happy about was that the transparent, bias-cut dress that Tanya D was wearing is still not hanging in my wardrobe and wall after 2 years. I mean the whole collection was so good, I wouldn't mind if it was a museum showpiece or a couture outfit I would love and die to have. And I need the headpieces, the sleigh-shoes, and the one Sasha was wearing, and the one Kasia was wearing and......I'm such a greedy hoarder.

Ok back to sleep.

Designer's sketches. Part 2.

Jordan Sterling for The Fashion Illustrator. Some people are really talented while others like me are just plain dumb. Gonna practice real hard and I swear by the end of year, I will be able to draw as well as anyone in the fashion industry. (Shhh....Don't tell anyone I'm actually referencing some of my sketches to these designers.)

Some of my favourites from TheFashionIllustrator.
