For his 2011 Spring collection, Galliano took his inspiration from Maria Lani, a 1920s muse to some of the greatest artists of her day including Amedeo Modigliani, whose portrait adorned the invite to the show. The twenties inspiration was everywhere, particularly in the silhouettes and styling. But the bright pinks, oranges and blues and floral prints were all completely of the moment. And the white sheer gowns were...drop dead gorgeous.
Oh and by the way, his 1950s Betty Page sailor collection for Christian Dior was no slouch either. In particular, we loved the shoes and handbags. We also have a sudden urge to book a flight to Maui.
Oh my god, I completely agree with you. This is by far my favorite collection of the season. And how fun it must be to be there in person.
ReplyDeleteI love it also, especially the first, fourth, and fifth. My only problem is that the third to last doesn't seem to fit in. The print seems more inspired by the 1940's, but that is just a minor quibble. Overall, I loved it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous.
ReplyDeleteRachel-I definitely agree that the third to last doesn't fit in as well. There were, however, more looks with that blue and white Hawaiian print in the actual show, which made it fit in a bit better with the rest of the collection(at least from a color standpoint). I just didn't include them.
