I won’t bother to reiterate my love for John Galliano all over again.  This wasn’t even one of my favorite of his collections.  But it was for sure one of the most interesting to show up on the runways for the entire Fall 2009 season.  Russian folklore and art nouveau and gauzy, icy eccentricity.

And the shoes?  Well, it’s not so often that you see pompoms and wood and metallic leather in combination, is it?

 

And if you’d like a close-up on a couple of those vertiginous heels…

 

Keeping it interesting, John.  Always keeping it interesting.
