Finally, the creative genius that is John Galliano, that we have come to expect from his years at Dior, has finally been unleashed with one iconic image, an art-meets-fashion dress in the label's Spring/Summer 2017 couture collection showcased in Paris earlier today.
Titled Artisanal, the collection opened with a line-up of black ensembles, including a oversized blazer with shoulder cut-outs worn with patent leather knee-high boots and a sheer black dress worn over a nude slip which incorporated black corseting.
A common thread through the line was a face motif, with Picasso-esque graphics of eyes, mouths and lips painted onto a white gauze raincoat, and on a red and black flowing gown. The idea was also incorporated into one of the most memorable garments in the line, a floor-length white coat featuring a design of a face printed in black, which was covered in layers of sweeping black tulle. The ensemble was topped off with a pilgrim-inspired large white hat.
