Lindsay Lohan checks out John Galliano's nomadic warrior women in Paris

08 MARCH 2010

Mean Girls actress Lindsay Lohan was among the front row guests in Paris at the weekend getting a first look at John Galliano's ready-to-wear vision for next Autumn/Winter.

The Gibraltar-born designer – who last week presented his collection for Dior, pulled out all the stops to show his new line in typically theatrical style.

The show notes read: "A tribe of adventuring Galliano nomads trek through a mountainous terrain in search of a new land."

And the looks showcased by the models were certainly reminiscent of nomadic warrior women. Brocade coats, silk trousers, bias-cut gowns, and Mongolian fur and Fez hats were all part of the collection, which had a Far East feel to it.

For the grand finale a flame on the catwalk began to burn, racing down to a stick of dynamite at the end.

The man behind the bold designs emerged from the resulting explosion, dressed in full 'brigand chieftain' costume, complete with a dagger.
