John Galliano's Maison Martin Margiela Show Closes Paris Haute Couture Season

The acclaimed show, featuring Gwendoline Christie and historical Parisian figures, comes ahead of a documentary about Galliano's career.

John Galliano, creative director of Maison Martin Margiela, closed the Paris haute couture season with an extraordinary show, portraying historical figures from Paris' past.
The show was held in an abandoned venue along the Seine, transformed into a decadent bistro where French archetypes took center stage.
Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie appeared in a milky white latex crinoline over a shimmering blue corset, with her neck and hands covered by a porcelain collar and skeleton hands.
The show comes ahead of the release of a new documentary about Galliano's career, titled High & Low: John Galliano, due out in theaters in the U.S. in March.
The show received widespread acclaim, with many declaring it a historical moment in fashion.
