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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Gender-bending Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to explore more unconventional and inclusive styles. - **Eccentric Runway Shows:** Chance for fashion brands to create memorable and buzzworthy presentations. - **Period-inspired Wardrobes:** Market potential for retro and vintage-inspired fashion lines. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Design:** Potential for designers to push boundaries and challenge traditional gender norms. - **Event Planning:** Opportunity to organize unique and attention-grabbing fashion shows. - **Vintage Clothing:** Demand for period-inspired fashion pieces in the retail industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Body Artwork-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-tattoo.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md) - [Sophisticated Menswear Runway Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-men.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Evolutionary Menswear Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ss-daley-1.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [High Fashion Clog Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-jean-paul-gaultier.md) - [Cowboy-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fw-2024.md)
