John Galliano's [quirky and fantasy-laden runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) never fail to disappoint.

Galliano's extraordinary collection from his 2009 show ranged from the [futuristic and whimsical](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion) to downright freakish. It also featured some pretty [bizarre hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aging-disgracefully-collection).

To me, the most eccentric of the bunch is the weird white and tall hair style that reminds me of the powdered wigs that the tragic Marie Antoinette used to wear.

**Implications** - If you are looking to add some spark to that mane of yours, you will definitely find inspiration from Gallianoâ€™s 2009 runway show. Models adorned their hair with clips from newspapers, swept up their hair into crimped buns and dyed their hair lime green, fiery orange and cotton-candy pink.
