John Galliano Spring 2013 Runway Review

Gaytten’s experience with couture shone through in the construction of the gimmick-free collection that was low on embellishments and frills — even makeup and hair this season were kept relatively simple. Who needs frills after all when you can make a dramatic impact with volume? Volume has been pumped up on a number of runways this season, but few did it with as much artful finesse as Gaytten who made even pale purple knee-length trousers, which were about quadruple the size of your run-of-the-mill Bermuda, look appealing. Ditto for an artfully folded cape, a white and yellow print poncho, and a knotted pencil skirt, all of which point to an exciting new direction for the brand.
