'''John Galliano's Spring-Summer 2004 [[Haute Couture]] collection''' for [[Christian Dior]] was themed to his then recent travels to [[Egypt]], clearly representative of the ethnic influences which often shine in his works.

The more conservative of [[John Galliano|John Galliano's]] apparel shown on [[January 19]], [[2004]] in [[Paris, France|Paris]], included [[leopard-print]] [[fur stolesstole]]s with [[collarscollar]]s that "soar like [[obelisksobelisk]]s", billowing gowns of shadow-dyed [[organza]], with hems twisted and folded into [[lotus flower]] shapes, and [[pyramid]]-shaped gowns made of dozens of golden mirrors, and printed with hieroglyphics, or the glamorous [[mummies]] paraded in bandages of black [[silk tulle]] flashing with rainbow [[sequinssequin]]s. Many wore [[Nefertiti]]-like crowns, or long Egyptian "goatees". The models wore [[breast-plates]] of turquoise, coral, silver and gold, and earrings the size of "eagles' eggs".

Some of the more brilliant examples of flawless tailoring was shown in the golden or blue snakeskin sheaths, worn by models "[[walking like an Egyptian|walking like Egyptians]]". These models wore elegantly carved and polished wood masks, of [[Tutenkhamun]], or gods like [[Horus]], a falcon, [[Bast]], a cat, or most brilliantly, [[Anubis]], a jackal. The masks were made by a London milliner, named [[Stephen Jones]].
