John Galliano's Gender-Bending Fashion Show

I think some of us are so used to this particular fashion designer’s extravagant but fun sets that by glancing at the images above, there's no question that this shocking Men’s Fall 2009 show screams John Galliano.

The eccentric designer’s catwalk was populated by models strutting up and down the runway half naked and wearing women’s stockings, makeup, powdered wigs, three-cornered hats, and overcoats that recalled the 1700’s and a plethora of other lavish and flamboyant period wardrobes.

These shocking, whimsical and fun runways really do scream the fashion designer's name. Every time I see Galliano’s crazy collections, I wish I were there to join the chorus.
