Fashion house John Galliano hosted a catwalk show to feature their upcoming AW14 collection at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris during Paris Fashion Week.  The collection was a mixture of masculine and feminine looks designed with a luxurious but eccentric edge.

Looks included the use of different textiles such as velvet, neoprene and beading, and the garments themselves ranged from flared skirts and jacket silhouettes nostalgic of early Dior mixed in with the modern day high-waisted pantsuit for the working woman who is stylish and bold.  Palettes were in autumnal hues of burgundies, blues, and oranges.  Accessories included gloves, belts, clutches and fur stoles.
