So John Galliano is back and designing for Mason Martin Margiela.
Anna Wintour Wears John Galliano for Maison Martin Margiela to the British Fashion Awards

Recap:

Quote:

On 25 February 2011, Dior announced they had suspended Galliano following his arrest over an alleged anti-Semitic tirade in a Paris bar.[18] The same day, Paris-based citizen journalism site Citizenside received video of Galliano on a similar rant in the same bar the previous December. In the video a drunk Galliano, seated at a café table, insults a group of Italian women and declares "I love Hitler... People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be f*****g gassed." This incident happened just before the Paris Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2011-12.

I don't agree with his tirade an he has had to pay in the courts. I like his designs though.

...And he managed to nail a slew of trends, and set quite a few more..
...There were, for a start, maxi coats galore—a central feature of the season’s obsession with the seventies—all of them precisely fitted with small bodices and slim proportions. Before a couple of looks had come and gone—a long black patent coat, followed by a printed brown velvet one worn with a plaid miniskirt—a definite image was beginning to form. Of whom did the plunging Ossie Clark–ish blouse, the sheer black lace dress, and the feathery things...

Galliano and Maison Margiela fight it out for autumn/winter 2015

The fuzzy shoes are cute!

Good, I'm glad he's back!! I love that dress that Anna Wintour's wearing, in your first pic----and, she's Jewish----so, if his rant didn't bother HER.....

Your other pictures were interesting, TOO!! That one with the orange gloves reminded me of the first episode of "Project Runway" (season 5, I THINK), where an Asian guy put yellow scrub-gloves on his model----everybody thought the model looked like some kind of "Psycho-Surgeon", or something like that!! LOL It was pretty bad!

The last picture is interesting in that the models look like dolls, I guess was the intention, and those lines on them, are their joints?

Anyway..... GOOD post!

I love the cut of the dress.
She has for sure helped him by offering such public forgiveness. Wintour's classy and she sure can wear an outfit.

Check out the necklace. The flower pendant is gorgeous.

I think I remember that. He came up with some odd stuff.
