The [pom-poms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-mule-1) on these [John Galliano shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-fluevog) remind me of the haircuts people give to their poodles to create perfectly coiffed little puffy balls on their feet and tails.

I didn’t see photos of the back view of John Galliano’s collection in Paris, but I’m pretty sure the models didn’t have [puff ball tails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dog-accessories-collection). In fact, they were dressed more like they were about to march right off the catwalks for some type of invasion.
