Galliano: A Reminder to Rock It

For the most part fashion week tends to be pretty "eh" -- so often just a blur of regurgitated cuts and inoffensive neutrals-- the large exception always being John Galliano for Dior.
Galliano is the one designer who will always, always remove you from reality to experience fashion as he does-- in grandiose terms. He only seems to prune back his wild ideas here and there, as gently and thoughtfully as if they were bonsai trees.
The designer himself is a work of art to boot, a shape-shifting Bowie of a man who could easily pass for a circus ringmaster, a pirate or Goldilocks on any given day.
Um, shyah, I know you and I will never wear any of these pieces in real life. (Can you imagine your friends trying to help you stuff your voluminous drunk ass into a cab at 3 a.m. in one of these things?) But take a look anyway. It's a nice reminder that fashion should always be more than function. It should be an extension of your mind, your imagination. You have the power to be whatever you want. And there are no rules.
