A John Galliano show—whether for Christian Dior (couture and ready-to-wear) or his own collection—is guaranteed to be an over-the-top display of his imaginative vision. And the experience is not limited to the spectacular clothes sent down the runway, for nearly as delightful to witness are the intricately executed, masterfully thought-out ensembles Galliano wears for his final bows. One gets the sense that nearly as much work and planning goes into them as goes into the entire collection.
On Monday, Galliano took his bow sporting a shag haircut and black military suit with a red scarf tied around his neck. Throughout the years, he’s dressed as a matador, Edward Scissorhands, and even an astronaut. He’s never the same, but he’s always John.
