John Galliano Spring 2006: Do You Believe Beauty Comes in All Shapes & Sizes? Galliano Does & Proves it w/a Bevy of Non-Traditional Beauties, Plus Some Cool Threads to Boot. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION EXPERT FASHION BLOG
We all like to nod our heads in agreement that "beauty comes in all shapes " but John Galliano actually did more than just talk the talk for his Spring 2006 show. His runway overflowed with guys in dresses, Chairman Mao-like unisex chic, Fan Tan Fanny & her various escorts, and pretty much anything but your typical skinny, pouty amazons - his models included the extremely short, those of a "certain" age, the sexually ambiguous, buxom, & pocket-sized.
Theatrics aside, there were some juicy pieces to choose from: groovy trenchcoats in interesting prints & in leather, showstopping fur shrugs that would look fab paired with skinny jeans, colorful bias-cut dresses & beautiful floor-length red carpet numbers from a dramatic black strapless to ensembles that had a charming mermaid feel.
And besides...we love the fact that the man himself is looking so Axl Rose this season. How cool is that?! Welcome to the fashion jungle.

In 1961 Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano was born in Gibraltar of Spanish parents Anita and Juan Carlos Galliano. In 1966 his parents emigrated to London with Juan and two daughters. He attended Wilsons Grammar School and excelled in languages. While doing his A levels, he took up textiles and put together a portfolio to present to St. Martins College of art. He was accepted.
He experimented with bias cutting, reviving and refining it. He worked with Tommy Nutter, in Savile Row, London’s famous tailors street. He noticed that sleeves swung forwards, as if cut on the curve, so that you could really move your arms. He began cutting sleeves in a spiral so that his armholes could be neat and even cut trousers on the bias to make legs look slender.
