Into the Future

I love reading tarot cards as a hobby,

but I'm starting to take it more seriously.

And I'm pleased with the banner I recently made...

Designer Spotlight: John Galliano (slightly NSFW)

Fashion designer John Galliano has been pumping out haute couture gems since the late 1980s.  

His aesthetics lean toward anachronistic eccentricities and sculptural, bold shapes, 

creating a sensual world of drama, mystery and glamour in every garment.

With the likes of Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley as his cheerleaders, he's dressed some of the most famous men and women on earth, and continues to make his mark in the fashion world.

Here are some highlights from his prolific career.
