John Galliano held his show last evening at the Halle Freyssinet out in the 13th arrondissement. Built in 1927, it was an engineering marvel as it was one of the first structures built of pre-stressed concrete and glass ceilings. http://www.halle-freyssinet.com/ It poured just before the show but that did not keep the crowds from trudging through the puddles. Not even Prince.
An ode to silent film stars but on a hitech runway pierced by laser light and gigantic bubbles that fell from the ceiling and burst into smoke when touched or alighted on the ground. Gloria Swanson’s voice from Sunset Boulevard started the show….
A post of the runway show itself to come. Here are a few photos teasers….

Bethany- the shows are over today… but we’re grinding our way through the writing appointments now. The fun part is OVER! How long ago was it when we worked together?

1988, maybe 1987. No matter about the conclusion of the shows–I love the entire process. It takes me back to I Magnin and SF, one of my favorite jobs (second only to cooking and running my vegan restaurant); and a stint working for a woman in Sonoma managing a high-end Western wear store. So much fun!
