Walk Like an Egyptian

The
Dowbrigade attempts to stay on top of fashion….

PARIS (AFP) – British designer John Galliano, the golden boy of Christian
Dior, brought ancient Egypt back to life for the Paris fashion crowd,
offering a dazzling couture collection for spring-summer 2004.

Galliano — who drew inspiration from his recent visit to Cairo, Luxor and Aswan
— offered a slim silhouette for next summer, building cor sets into skin-tight
embroidered floor-length dresses bedecked with fur and feathers.

As strains of the Bangles’ 1980s classic "Walk Like an Egyptian" blared
out over the sound system, models paraded down the catwalk in a series of glittering
gold gowns in silk tulle or sexy snakeskin leather.
