I LOVE this book with my entire life. Ive been really into fashion especially fashion design and illustrations for the past few years and this is by far the most creative and inspirational catwalk I have read so far. It not only shows great expressions in the pieces themselves but it tackles topics such as feminism in a really artistic way.
Christian Dior is often regarded as a designer who loved women, and his reverence is apparent in his designs. if this is true, than the same can be inferred of John Galliano, who based on his years’ work at the heritage house ABSOLUTELY HATED WOMEN. It seems to me Galliano’s creative vision at Dior was just to strip women of their dignity.
Spring/Summer 99’s Communist inspired line? Fall/Winter 00’s “Freud/Fetish” line?? By now we all know Galliano is a well known racist (and his collections never hid this), but now learning that he’s also a weirdo freak too… pick a struggle @ Galliano.
