John Galliano ... makes "queer" the new fashion statement for 07/08

John Galliano, the famed British designer behind Dior, wowed and dazzled fashion critics and couture-followers once again after his 07/08 Fall/Winter Men's collection in Paris last Friday. His shows have been known to be full of surprises and often hits you over the head with shocking creations and designs that can't help but make you wonder if being "fashionable" really means wearing stuff that "normal" people wouldn't wear (even if it looks like you dug it out of a garbage can). Galliano often makes references to history and portrays the images from his travels around the world through his clothes; his latest collection (Vogue.com) features inspirations from his recent trip to Japan and with masks, antlers, and head-gear that looks borrowed from Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto", Galliano has once again been able to distinctly separate himself from the other designers out there.

From laced-up baseball boots and war paint beneath the eyes, to Ninja robes and stockings and ropes over the head, the eclectic mix of Asian influences with Western rock n' roll is evident that "anything goes" when you're J. Galliano.
