The Scene: English Secret Agent (reminiscent of Patrick Macnee's role in the hit 1960s era British TV series The Avengers) turns Kung Fu Fighting Gangster only to end up in a Chinese Opium Den, a victim of his own decadence. Even through the theatrics of a John Galliano show, one can see the masterful tailoring and complete control. I love the twisted tale and I found many of the looks eminently wearable, with the exception of the final two featured above, but hey, the man girdle would be a nice little surprise under one of those fabulous suits, wouldn't it?
