John Galliano put on a fantastic menswear show for his Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Galliano dressed the models as silent film stars, such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. The base palette was blue, grey and black. The silhouette for the pants was baggy and oversized. Hats were out in full force, as were jackets of all kinds form bomber jackets to trench coats to silk smoking jackets. We loved all the hats, from the straw boaters to the leather caps. The Little Tramp was there, as was the 1930s prisoner in his stripes and even the classic lounge lizard. But it wasn't all an homage to the silent film era. As the show went on, the clothes got more modern: there were quite a few ensembles that should be picked up by the world's biggest rap and pop stars.
I adore John Galliano....and i adore his fabulous boys...
