...least along the runways, the stars were in alignment last week. The usual stable of celebrities and editors lined the front rows at the couture shows in Paris. Sofia Coppola ogled John Galliano's Empire-waist Josephine dresses at Dior. At Armani's haute-couture debut, Penélope Cruz perused her options for the red carpets at this year's awards ceremonies. Even Vogue editor Anna Wintour was back in town after sitting out the past two spring couture seasons. But those who wanted to see the real action needed to keep an eye on the new faces...

Fashion at the time was all about giant shoulder pads and drab minimalism, but Galliano was determined to change that. In 1995 he landed the job of revitalizing the stuffy house of Givenchy and shocked the French fashion establishment with his romantic vision of disheveled beauties in chiffon slips and billowing ball gowns.
