Wow! Just wow!

I found this link to John Galliano's fall fashion show through Hanna Fridén's blog (swedish). And all I can say is WOW! The shoes, the tights, the dresses, the coats, the fabrics, the colours, the details! I'm in love!

Having just watched the slideshow... I'm singularly unconvinces - one or two were OK, but the rest just looked freakishly overdone, to me.

Perhaps it's the obvious 1920's/1930's influence some of them have (never been a favourite period of mine) or perhaps its that several of them look like an explosion in a ruffle factory or an explosion in an underwear factory.

Probably both. I liked the 20s-30s influence. And the ruffles. I won't wear that many ruffles though.

Freakishly overdone. Yes. I think the corpse bride makeup didn't help me overlook that all the models are skeletons. It is just unappealing to me - do men really think they are sexy looking like that?

But, a fashion show is not so much about clothes, it's just an art exhibition running around on skinny legs. At least that's what I have to tell myself not to be horribly annoyed by the whole concept.

I did like some of the fall-like colours, muddy reds and whatnot.

Erm.. sorry, Eva, for raining on your parade. So not my intention. It's great that you like the clothes there!

No problem. I have big problems with the stick-skinny models too. And funnily enough most of the clothes would look so much better on normally shaped women.

Definitely would. I think I was unduly upset by watching Dawn French talking about larger women via YouTube yesterday.
