An army of models made the journey down the Parisian runway, transformed into historical characters for John Galliano’s spring 2010 collection. Shirts were wrapped around the head and turned into turbans, with wide leg pants or shorts, completing the look with a collection of belts layering the waistline.

A Tarzan-like model appeared with a calla lily wrapped around his head as a crown with a bronzed body, brown open shirt and bright yellow printed underpants.

With long cloaks, loose shorts, harem trousers, vests, and distressed leather jackets, the collection inspired by Napolean Bonaparte left the imagination soaring to medieval times, a Charles Dickens novel, and even a modern day twist on the Pirates of Penzance.
