I was doing some research on Youtube and Google and I came across something spectacular about one of favorite designers, John Galliano. When he first came out in the mid 80's-90's I took a kinda medium-high interest to his work, but once 2002-2003 came along I was so blown away, Galliano took his work to a whole new level, click here to view one of most favorite collections of his career.
Galliano's 2003 Ready-To-Wear collection for Dior was breath taking and so very..... God I cant even find a word to describe, it was just very different from all his collections. “It was hard-core romance! Sex robots!, Galliano quoted backstage after the show. His inspiration came from his trip to China and Japan scandalizing many critics with the extra-outsize scale of his box-shaped, 3-D cutting experiments and mind-blowing kaleidoscope of East-West references according to critics. This was one of Dior's "New Look", very young and romantic for the season, making it very different from the couture collections Galliano created for Dior since his first collection. The models especially did such a mind blowing performance with the sexy and fierce walks down the runway, AND the makeup was just such beauty, all thanks to Pat McGrath for her Japanese inspired creations.

Michelle Alves (shown above), started off the show with the best walk I have ever seen ever for any Dior show, the strut and pose she gave on the runway gave me goosebumps, thats how friggen awesome it was!! Another thing to notice also is the amazing latex garments that was worn by some models, the pants was one thing to talk about because nobody has ever made something so crazy look so sexy and detailed, but of course in order to be worn it would probably have to be worn as leggings or and under-garment. But not only were the pants latex but some shirts and skirts were as well, it often came across to me how the girls got fitted in these tight clothes, “Just how do I get my ass into that rubber skirt?”, Gwen Stefani said after the show. Otherwise the collection was quite wearable and it was considered one of the best collections for that year, making this Galliano's best and original collection since the start of his career.
