Wasn’t it John Galliano who once said “Dressing up. People just don’t do it anymore. We have to change that.” ?

The British couturier’s spring/summer Haute Couture collection is an extravagant reference to women of a time when an image was only captured by paint.

Beautiful and bold colours but also with grey or silver, black and white shades throughout.  Classically cut gowns and belted jackets created such shapes seen on the silver screen and finished with elegant gloved hands.

A sight that would make the most doubtful of woman take a sudden breath and look with intrigue for quite some time.

A wedding dress for me here, perhaps.

Oh my!  This is what love looks like.
