Call me, maybe...

 New York Fashion Week 2013

The most highly anticipated show at New York Fashion Week, Oscar dela Renta's Ready-To-Wear Fall 2013 collection featuring the handiwork of designer-in-residence, John Galliano, was unveiled on Tuesday the 13th of February.
This collection was definitely made by two designers. I mean it's pretty obvious who made what.  The signature Galliano look is ever so present in the form of dresses cinched at the waist with thin belts, elegant gloves, finger-waved hair and dark eye shadow. 
So what happens to Galliano now? His residency at dela Renta's studio was only supposed to last for three weeks. I think it's kind of Mr. dela Renta to open his studio door to Galliano when, I'm pretty sure, none of the other designers have extended the same courtesy. 
I think it's about time Galliano was forgiven by the fashion world. His genius needs to be seen by us again. Or at least by me anyway. 
Call me, John- I will hire you as my personal dress-maker.
