Paris Fashion Week | John Galliano S/S 2010


Napoleon Bonaparte of France was the chosen muse for John Galliano's spring 2010 collection, and rightfully so. Interpreting the Oriental motif in a modern way, Galliano showed harem shorts and head wraps that are an obvious take on Napoleon and his campaigns in Egyptian desert. Unlike the desert, the color base for the collection experiments with actual color as oppossed to neutrals with yellows, oranges, and reds. Outerwear plays an important factor in the collection with militaristic jackets remaining simple yet bold with toned embellishing. Silhouettes are held together in form with accessories such as belts and sashes that remain true to the mood. I like what I see and with such strong inspiration, the collection is reserved in just the right amount, bold in every way, and still wearable. Thats a fleet not easily done.
