John Galliano: Modernity and Spectacle
Figure 9.1.John Galliano for Christian Dior, Autumn-Winter 1998–9 couture
collection, shown at the Gare d’Austerlitz in Paris. The audience was
seated on sand-covered platforms decorated like an oriental souk; the
models arrived on a steam train with a wall of orange paper at the front
through which a model dressed as the Princess Pochahontas burst as
the train pulled into the station. Photograph: Niall McInerney
