Dior’s head designer John Galliano brings film noir to the fore front in his line’s Spring/Summer 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection.
Staying true to his love for theatre, Galliano’s runway set, inspired by hit 1950s film Sunset Boulevard, gave his audience more than just a fashion show by transporting them back to the age of silent movies on a runway drenched in dark washes accentuated by dreamy smoky bubbles floating from the ceiling.
His models were dominated in poetic chiffon and lace, a nod to his romantic inclinations. Bias cut and puff shoulders lent strength and glamour to his heroine looks, as did the coats flanked by clusters of his iconic film gel flowers. Topped off with almost macabre-like makeup and unbelievably show stopping head pieces, the Galliano show was indeed an eclectic fix.
