“In this economic climate, I want to focus on the established codes of Dior: the Bar jackets, the panther, the lily of the valley,” he told WWD – and certainly all the mainstays of the house were there today – sculpted jackets whose collars peeled back to create a floral stigma of the veiled model’s head, form-fitting dresses whose Forties austerity was belied by lace slips showing at the hem and fairytale creations that exploded into layers of silk-edged cream chiffon, or wrapped legs in swathes of embroidered pink brocade, from stiff silk bustiers that were overlaid in lace.

A mega-watt palette of fuchsia, yellow, scarlet, tango and purple was smoulderingly sexy set against lingerie of nude or black silk that proved Galliano’s tailoring skill as much as his more complicated overwear does - deftly structured bras, corsets and girdles were as much the main event as the pieces they held together. It was a combination that allowed him free rein over texture as much as colour as much as structure, leaving his audience completely sated and all aflutter as only Galliano can.

There was a touch of Moulin Rouge allure combined with a My Fair Lady character determined to let loose how she really feels under her clothes – while gigantic feathered hats, satin gloves with matching shoes and exquisite sparkling detailing proved that, should she need to, she certainly knows how to behave.
