Paris Fashion Week: J'adore John Galliano

Gentle readers, if there were just one fashion show we could go to it would have to be, hands down, a John Galliano show. Drama, beauty, and once you look past the crazy hair and hats and makeup and scenery (but then again why would you want to do that!), you are left with completely wearable and gorgeous clothes.

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.
