Editor's Note
“It was hard-core romance! Sex robots!” - John Galliano
John Galliano's Fall/Winter 2003 collection for Christian Dior, dubbed Fetish and Japan, vividly reflected his fascination with Japanese culture and aesthetics. Fresh from a journey to China and Japan, which greatly influenced his couture collection in January preceding the Ready-To-Wear showcase, Galliano seamlessly merged Eastern and Western influences.
Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese elements like Kabuki face paint, geishas, and elaborately ruffled coats, Galliano crafted a captivating fusion of cultural motifs. The collection boasted intricate origami-like folds, prints, and sumptuous fabrics that embodied the essence of Japanese craftsmanship.
The runway presentation was a mesmerising spectacle, transporting viewers into a realm of fantasy. Galliano's Japan collection not only celebrated the beauty and mystique of Japanese culture but also reinterpreted it through his avant-garde perspective, resulting in an unforgettable and enchanting fashion narrative.
Pair with these heels from the same collection to create the perfect ensemble.
As seen on Look 8 on the runway.
