Snip from NYT report:
“John Galliano sent out his models in skirts splashed with fake blood and painted skeletons, with crosses round their necks, to the sound of whips and clanking chains in a dramatic opening to Paris fashion week on Monday. ‘Red is the new libertine … Dior is the new erotica,” read the blood-red information sheet handed out at Christian Dior’s spring-summer 2006 haute couture collection.”
