# Glamorous Mint Dressing Gowns Old Hollywood Elegance at John Galliano Presentation for Fall 2011 By Katherinev123 | Published 2011-03-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-galliano-presentation References: [latimesblogs.latimes](http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2011/03/paris-fashion-week-john-galliano-collection-shown-without-its-designer.html) & [nowfashion](http://www.nowfashion.com/06-03-2011-john-galliano-ready-to-wear-fall-winter-2011-paris-show-352.html) Despite expectations that the designer’s anti-Semitic comments would dampen interest in his Fall 2011 showing, the [John Galliano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-deer) presentation on March 6, held at a private mansion in Paris, received quite a crowd. Galliano was dismissed from [Christian Dior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection) last week, following a series of reports—and a video—that showcased the designer making racial slurs. Nonetheless, the show must go on—albeit in the form of a low-key “presentation,” rather than the typical outrageous runway show at Paris Fashion Week. The John Galliano presentation featured dazzling looks harking back to the 1930s and 40s and the old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanels-new-high-jewelry-collection) glamor for which the designer is known. The collection’s plumed headpieces and ladylike skirt suits were too chic to ignore, while a mint green robe and sparkling emerald dress most likely spawned an appreciative tear or two. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Old Hollywood Glamor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating modern designs that pay homage to the elegance and glamour of old Hollywood. - **Low-key Presentations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing alternative formats for fashion presentations that prioritize intimacy and exclusivity over extravagant runway shows. - **Vintage-inspired Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating vintage elements into contemporary fashion designs to create unique and nostalgic styles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing sustainable and ethical practices in the fashion industry to address environmental and social concerns. - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging personalization and customization technologies to create bespoke luxury products that cater to individual preferences. - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing innovative event concepts and experiences that enhance brand storytelling and create memorable moments for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stylish City-Inspired Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diors-2024-collection.md) - [Intimate Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-springsummer-2026.md) - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Refined Quiet Luxury Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-journey.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Whimsical Couture Settings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chanel-spring-summer-2026.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Archetypal Fashion Debuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-famiglia-collection.md) - [Contemporary Fashion Retrospectives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-by-demna.md)
