You say potatoes

For me John Galliano's arrival at Maison Margiela an unexpected move. I had heard he'd done some work (post-rehab and away from the media's glare) at Oscar de la Renta and it seemed fitting that perhaps he'd take over the house when the man himself retired (or passed on) but it didn't happen and suddenly Galliano, possibly one of the best known fashion designers in the world was designing for a house that had built its name through anonymity.

An image I saw in an article about pagan parties in Mexico caught my eye and brought to mind the image of the girl from the Maison Margiela Couture Autumn/Winter 2015 show. I hope Galliano is able to remain stable at Margiela. It's certainly not as giant as Dior (is this where Elbaz will move next, post Simons?) but very few brands are. 

I was captivated by the image of the blonde model in the sack cloth dress from the couture show. It's like Essence of Galliano right there. He is one of the few, McQueen also was in this realm, who's able to turn peasant cloth in to clothes fit for some ethereal princess. From the dirt to the stars.
