Fall Fashion Week 2009

runway update

Some designers dare to go different from the rest. More dramatic, theatrical, opulent and glamorous were the collections of Galliano and McQueen this fall. Both brought a sense of romanticism and great craftmanship to the stage.

McQueen's sense of humour came back in his use of recycled materials as headgears and satire hommage to some of fashion's most famous looks like Dior's New Look, Chanel tweed suits and YSL wrapover dress.

Galliano's collection shows a story with inspirations from Ukrainian virgin brides, mixed with poetry and romance. He worked with some new volumes and shapes, super high heels with pom pom details, beautiful embroidered folkloric and spun-silver bias cut dresses.
