Waspish waists were on show on many models: nipped-in waists on some, volume, bubble sleeves and wide necks on others. The trend was firmy stamped on Jean Paul Gaultier and Gustavo Lins' collections, while at Dior, John Galliano brought all the trends together in this show-stopping design which combines classic Fifties Dior with incredible modernity.
