Over the weekend Paris Fashion Week began for another season as the last major fashion week for Autumn/Winter ’08. Paris is often the most exciting of the fashion capitals has it presents some of the biggest names including Chanel, Stella McCartney and Christian Dior. Dior is one of the first major players to show, it’s always exciting to see what amazing designs John Galliano creates.

Today Galliano took inspiration from Barbie dolls producing a show of models with big hair, dramatic make-up and pretty party dresses. The collection drew from a varied palette of mainly bright shades, there was plenty of golden embellishment on head bands and sleeve cuffs. There were ’70s style leather suits teamed with wide-rim hats and matching gloves. What do you think of the collection? Is it too much?
