PLAY TIME: Leave it to John Galliano to be fashionably late for the launch of his signature timepiece range. The designer cruised in to his Paris flagship at just past 9 p.m. on Monday night to whoops and applause from awaiting guests including French actors Hafsia Herzi, Frédérique Bel, Julie Depardieu and Tomer Sisley, as well as jewelry designer Harumi Klossowska. “I’m always on time, like the Queen of England,” the designer quipped, as Galliano president Sidney Toledano grabbed a pair of men’s shades from a rack to pose for pictures with him. “Very mafioso,” commented Galliano, shod in a pair of studded shoes. Old pocket watches collected from flea markets from around the world partly inspired the collection, according to Galliano, who revealed he has also been busy casting Dior’s spring campaign. And the chosen girl? Karlie Kloss.
