The controversial rocker Marilyn Manson told Women's Wear Daily, at the John Galliano show on Saturday, that he will launch his own fragrance next year. "I'm in the final stages with one of the major companies," said Manson, adding that he was "inspired by the Dali-Schiaparelli collaborations."

The singer also revealed that he will be designing his own range of beauty products, including lipstick and powder foundation.

Regarding John Galliano's show, Manson said: "I think he's very self-aggrandizing in a very great way. In a way that I like. . . He is someone who lives their art, especially when he puts his own image into his creations.
Few people can get away with that. But he can, because he is so fantastic," said Manson, who attended the show with his fiancée Dita von Teese.

"It's not just about the clothes. It's about the whole spirit," Manson added.

Marilyn Manson, whose real name is Brian Hugh Warner, born January 5, 1969, is an American musician and the leader of the band Marilyn Manson. Known for anti-religious, profane and provocative lyrics and behavior, he has been the subject of much controversy, particularly during the late 1990s.
