<\/a><\/p>\nInspired by the noted fashion illustrator – Rene Gruaub whose work was mostly identified with the French Fashion House from 1947. You can definitely see the inspiration within the sculptural, voluminous and razor sharp edges which give a glimpse of the slip underneath. Gruab’s distinctive exaggerated style of design inspired the whole of the fashion industry and will always be remembered for its”timeless and enduring style”.<\/p>\n

This collection has everything for me; from the beautiful powder and power pallet, to the wasp waists, bare shoulders, belted peplum jackets – worth a special mention are the textures, volume and depth and of the tulle pieces. As you can tell, Galliano’s shows are definitely the ones I look forward to and cherish.<\/p>\n The pallet was kept simple; powerful blacks, reds, teals and oranges were beautifully complimented by powder shades. This really played up to the retro feel of the collection, each outfit from head to toe shows a confidant, sexual temptress, and she wanted everyone to know about it. These were my favourite looks:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The hair and make up was – as always- stunning. Twists, twirls, eyebrows and lips all topped off with veils and intricate head pieces. Can you get more Dior than that?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>(Left: Iconic Red and Black Wasp waist belted peplum skirt and jacket. This Woman will eat you alive.
