Dubai Fashion 2009 unveils John Galliano's Spring/Summer 2009 Collection

Galliano's collection will celebrate 'all that is 'Great' in Great Britain'.

Tonight's 'ladies only' installment is the second of three magical nights of Dubai Fashion glamour that are lighting up the catwalk from 9th - 11th February.

Tonight's collection promises to usher in a 'new energy for a new season at Galliano'. Inspirations and influences for Galliano's spring/summer designs this year include James Gillary, the Queen Mother, bold colours, big hair and bright prints. Dubai's fashionistas can expect slashed hems and a 'regal regency rock'.

The collection will also provide a counterpoint to balance the mood, described as 'the fragile against the machinery'. Fashion elite will be treated to flowing chiffons, ruffles, and unashamedly romantic sheer evening styles, full of the signature English eccentric chic that has won this talented designer numerous awards, including several nods as 'British Designer of the Year'.

Tonight heralds one of many dazzling milestones on Dubai Fashion's road to firmly establishing Destination Dubai as the fashion capital of the region. Previous editions of Dubai Fashion have enjoyed successful partnerships with owners of Lifestyle Brands, Luxury Brands and Premier Designer Houses that include: Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Givenchy, Sonya Rykiel, Kenzo, Valentino, Barbara Bui, Stephan Roland and Stella Cadente.

Dubai Fashion was conceived in 2004 as an annual high-end fashion showcase for renowned international brands and designers that have a presence in exclusive local retailers to present their collections in Dubai's 'Fashion Week' equivalent, promoting Destination Dubai as a cosmopolitan hub on the world stage.

Procter and Gamble (P&G) Beauty brands, Wella Professionals and Max Factor, will support Dubai Fashion 2009 as the premier fashion event's official hair and make-up brands.
