  the 2027 met exhibition with the costume institute is focusing on the infamous john galliano , titled john galliano: horizons.  this year's main sponsor was bezos, i guess obviously since he bought out conde nast. i lost interest in the whole thing, only seeing what social media brought to my attention, but i no longer put in effort to watch the red carpet and do extensive research. john galliano is a fantastic and talented designer, one of the greats, dare i say. he's had a muddy history, though, expressing antisemitism through drunken slurs costed his career. he lived in the shadows until the most recent years and went to rehab in a desert area of arizona. with his documentary high and low  that came out, and anna wintour shedding some light back to him, it seems like a slow return was beginning. law roach styled zendaya in a galliano gown a couple met galas ago, and his margiela 2024 runway was pivotal proof his genius was welcome back to mainstream fashion.  i ...

  this week, i watched the runway show for  roberto cavalli ss2004 rtw  show. instantly, it appeared heavily 70s inspired, very cher-esque. the vogue review by hamish bowles confirmed that the start of the show paid homage to the icon through a video. in his review, bowles describes how cavalli is all but subtle. if you've ever seen his logo, it's animal print. when i see bright colors mixed with animal print, for example, a turquoise dress with lots of movement and some colorful snakeskin strappy heels (spoiler: remember this description in the next few weeks), i associate it with cavalli. he may be a high fashion lisa frank?! the capris' hardware stood out for me.  capris are coming back full throttle, and i think this unexpected detail brings out something new. this show was a maximalist's dream. supple materials like ostrich feathers, bias-cut silk dresses, fringe and suede, leather capris, and the evergreen fur jacket, just a few to name. the models' walks can ...
