...huge ball gowns, several of them striped in muted colors. Those who expected him to trash Givenchy's history were wrong. Among daytime clothes were several homages to the old master: suits with belted jackets, one charming dress with little bows on the four pockets. Galliano even co-opted Audrey Hepburn, naming a sleek, black gown...
