And what are your thoughts about galliano in maison margiela? I dont like fashion that much, is all too mass media based, but when I see galliano’s colors and textures and movements I recall the 80’s incredible collections, like Armani’s. And I wonder what happened.
I like Galliano’s Margiela. I love Armani too. Actually did a whole edit on it from the real real (inexpensive, lots of vintage runway) for last Fridays recommendations newsletter, so the timing is funny here. Recently I have been attracted to Galliano’s Dior-of-yore too. Did you ever pay much attention to Emanuel Ungaro? There is a sensibility about all this womenswear which I think is what you’re talking about — for sure you can grasp it from the colors but also the silhouettes and the fabrics. They’re delicate, but strong
As far as what happened: America became very important to fashion and
I think we just got caught up in the ease of convenience, which is the ultimate luxury here. Our threshold to tolerate anything less than EXTREMELY PRACTICAL has waned. I don’t say it with judgment, but for sure it has impacted what designers believe worth creating
Burn the house down before you can build a new one? I think there is probably an element of that anytime we are entering a period of newness. We have to disassociate from the thing that came before until we’re confidently settled into the future, and then that’s when we can revisit. At least I see it that way!

Yes! He was in love with chinesse slippers. And yes i feel goosebumps only when I see galianos’s work of art.

Great piece! Another thing that Philo did really well was color. She had pops of the right color that you didn’t know you needed in your life 💚
Super interesting!!!
Thought provoking as always!
This hit me hard!
