In my Advanced Computer Apparel Design class we recently finished a three week unit researching and designing a lingerie as outerwear line. It's a HUGE trend for Spring and it's been in quite a few publications (Vogue and Elle had some excellent spreads).

Bette Davis Eyes
I saw this collection and died! John Galliano is already one of my favorites but this Pre-Fall 2010 line made me feel like I was in America circa 1940. World War II was going on, there were rations on fabric and the silhouettes turned masculine and looked very similar to military uniforms. Galliano also made sure to include glamorous dresses we would have seen in the forties as well. I felt like this collection bared a resemblance to Edith Head's designs for Bette Davis and Elizabeth Taylor.
