While the eyes of the fashion world were firmly fixed upon Raf Simons and his debut Dior couture collection last Monday, it seems the industry's most powerful figure, Anna Wintour, was rather more preoccupied with his disgraced predecessor, John Galliano.
Instagram user Albert Pang captured two photos of someone who looked very much like Galliano (long hair, pencil 'tache, hat and flower-adorned suit - who else could it be?) meeting with a very smiley Anna Wintour at the Paris Ritz's restaurant, L'Espadon, on Monday evening.

Pang told The Cut that he's "100% positive" it was the designer, continuing: "[He] arrived alone and took a seat outdoor[s] where I was, and ordered a drink (not sure what drink, [I] couldn't see it [be]cause I was two tables away). The picture with a few people was someone from the table who knew Galliano, and they said hi. Then about 10 or 15 minutes later Anna Wintour came and she seemed very excited, with hurried steps to Galliano. If I remember correctly, they hugged. But I couldn't hear a thing. Then they moved indoors for dinner."

It's a very rare photographed sighting of Galliano since he went into hiding following his much-publicised dismissal from Dior last year, although he has reportedly been spotted dining with Wintour's flame-haired colleague, Grace Coddington, in Manhattan, and also wandering around his Paris neighbourhood in recent months.
So, if it is in fact Galiano in the pictures, could it mean he and Wintour are colluding on his comeback?

Wow, I wonder when was this? Anna Wintour has always been a big fan of John Galliano and right now, may be the only fan. Dior Bagatelle
