Gwen Stefani's Bespoke Galliano Wedding Dress to be Displayed at the V&A

Gwen Stefani graces the cover of this Aprils ELLE magazine and talks Gavin, kids, L.A.M.B and her infamous pink dipped wedding dress designed by controversial man of the moment, John Galliano.


Interviewed by her equally famous gal pal Shirley Manson, Gwen is asked about the last piece of clothing she wore that made her feel amazing. To which Gwen answers the question with the same answer we all probably do "My wedding dress" and tells the story of how Galliano came to create her iconic wedding dress.


"When I got engaged and someone told me that John said he would make my dress, I was like really? I said I wanted it to be over the top, but not traditional - I wanted it to be everything. But how do you tell this genius over the phone? He was, like, OK, and sent me these drawings of this unbelievable, perfect dress. It's going into the V&A now. I didn't wanna send it because I was scared it would get ruined. But it's a work of art, it needed to be seen." - Gwen Stefani, April issue, Elle Magazine. 




What do you think of Gwen's wedding dress? Will you want to see it at the V&A?

Dior Couture by John Galliano has a distinct Vintage Style!


John Galliano did not disappoint on the Haute Couture catwalks yesterday for Christian Dior. Inspired by the illustrations of René Gruau, whose work was synonymous with the French fashion house from 1947 onwards, the collection had a distinct vintage 40s and 50s feel to it. With cascading fabrics, sharp silhouettes and sculptured hems. 



I love everything from the length of the dresses to the opera length gloves! I cannot wait to see who will be wearing one of Galliano's DIOR creations come Oscar night.

Dressed as the evil queen in the first picture, Katy looks to the 1920s for her finger curled hairstyle and vampy boudoir. In the second picture, Perry wears a gorgeous peach Galliano flapper dress whilst she tells the birds what she got up to last friday night I suppose.
