And, as I strive to make many tasteful pieces of the gothic nature myself, I feel quite a kinship with Galliano. I absolutely adore his work, even when it's a miss.

I especially liked <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2007CTR/complete/slideshow/CDIOR?loop=0&iphoto=26&play=false&cnt=29" rel="nofollow"> this one</a>. It's almost wearable!

The collection was amazing, like he'd been hanging out with Edward Gorey & Tim Burton & Agatha Christie. Genius is the word. How about that long embroidered jacket? Wow. &, of course, the personal Wellies & a sun-yellow silk kimono. I've been there, too. :) He's outrageous & wonderful. This world definitely needs more fun.

In fact, I have a pair of Via Spiga knifes that look exactly like them and I wear them all the time. Those shoes do not look unwearable to me.

I like that he looks to be having a great deal of fun, the sewing is detailed and interesting. He makes me feel as if I like sewing again. Also, so much variety in the show. Love the green tights. Oh would I love to wear green tights. Also love the shoes. Very much agree. I like that he looks to be having a great deal of fun, the sewing is detailed and interesting.

I love the coats, the 20's- and 30's-inspired dresses, and as the Manolo said, the sense of whimsy (though not the zombie makeup on the models--why do they have to look like they've just been exhumed?). I also love the multicolored tights, tights being the only thing that I would or could actually wear out of all that, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try wearing blue or green ribbed tights with a yellow frock, especially as I don't have a whole team to make sure the ribbing on my tights is straight!

His most recent couture collection was so stunning it nearly made me cry. Indeed, he is one of very few designers who succesfully take artistic risks.
