Season of the Damned

Robot brought to my attention the other day of the signs to look for when the end of the world is to come, the twins will fall and people will be lovers of darkness rather than light.
This season, we've gotten a hit of it, and I guess that I too will be damned, because Givenchy's Fall/Winter collection gave me chills, John Galliano's Couture line had me on the edge of my seat. And Stefano Pilati's homage to YSL, well that was just in a class of its own.
So let's take a gander at this passing season in fashion. The damned, the mourning the exoticism of it all.
