An Itch For Theatrics

John Galliano dished out some truly inspired pieces... Given, some of the pieces were way over the top, but for the most part, I found this collection quite lovely. There was no lack of visuals or mind benders. Everything that Galliano did pushed so many boundaries, and he seemed to have landed on his feet more often than not! I loved how black and white he was with his inspiration. You could very easily delve into his dark, twisted, and oh-so-creative mind.

Probably my favourite part of this show was the makeup. There was a lot of variety in the looks, and there was also a lot of attention to detail in each of them! The mime-like looks really drew my eyes. It made the look really feel like it was trying to portray an entire feeling and situation, much like the show did as a whole. Check out the brows on the guy to the left! And is the one immediately to the right a guy or a girl? I had to look at the chest to tell!

Galliano brought us some looks that, despite their classic roots, still had a twinge of madness. The look to the right really made me think of Frankenstein's wedding. Hey! Who's to say that the undead don't want to look good too??

These three jackets totally got me off. I love the sheen to the two on the left, and I especially like the patterns that the one in the middle sports. I really feel like I'm starting to develop a fetish for grandma's couch upholstery....

I have a theory that suspenders are coming back in a big way. Just remember to wear them correctly if you're going to. For those slimmer gentlemen, it's more than dandy to wear them with any of your usual pants... But for everyone else, try not to. It may have the unfortunate look of accentuating your 'curviness'. Instead, aim for something like the look above... Use suspenders for their traditional use, which was to wear them to hold up pants that were a little too big. Basically, they should act as a belt.

For the beach savvy gent, here are three summer ready looks! I'm digging the oversized beret. The sheer tank is also great, and would be excellent for those hot summer days. On another note, I can't imagine the tan lines that you'd get from the shorts on the right. Talk about reinventing the skid marks.

I need to get me some! I'm clearly talking about the pants because the guy is a given... It's no secret that I have a thing for dropped crotch pants this season. I especially like the detailing sported around the waist and down the legs.
