Famous Fashion 2012: feathers

Matthew Williamson has a great talent in macthing ethnic style with his vision of fashion and actual trends. In this case he created a skirt with feathers (that are a trend of this s/s) and sequins (another trend) on a gold fabrics (quoting Anna dello Russo, gold will be the new black...). SO this skirt si a summary of the main trend of thsi s/s and it's amazing from my point of view that such a small piece of fabric could represent all these things. Maybe the price is a bit high, but in some cases (and this is one of them) every price is acceptable.

John Galliano has a unique style that gives the best of it in the dresses and tailleurs designed for Dior and Dior Couture. In his collection for his line (John Galliano and Galliano, only the first one is on the runway) we see a lot of extravagant and edgy clothes but not so many "elegant", chic and feminine dresses as we see in Dior's lines. So, every show of Gallaino is a surprise that, the most of the times, remained only an amazing show but unwearable in the real life, also for the most strange stars (think to Lady Gaga).
However, with this white dress and with the last two collections of the Galliano's line I saw a difference, a development of hsi style: a lot of wearable, elegant evening dresses and...chic!
In this case the dress is made by chiffon and by feathers on theskirt, the price is crazy (8000 $...) but the dress is so beautiful. Especially interesting is the volume and the ethereal mood of the dress. Also new the romantic and feminine taste of the dress that made it so right for a special event or a Red-Carpet.
I saw it on LuisaViaRoma and I decided to post it because I find it really gorgeus, amazing and with a very personal "soul" that is something a bit different to find in the evening dresses that so many times have all the same style and appearance!
