JOHN GALLIANO
JOHN GALLIANO (born in 1960) is one of the most influential fashion designers of our time. Born in Gibraltar, he grew up in London and launched his own label before becoming chief designer of France's haute couture flagship, Christian Dior, in Paris.
John Galliano has created the most spectacular fashion shows of our time. The inspiration for his first collection came from Danton, a National Theatre production on which he worked part-time as a dresser.
In the early 1990s, disillusioned by the difficulties of running a fashion business in Britain, he moved to Paris where he had sealed his reputation as one of the great designers of his time.
From his fantastical clothes, to his colourful background, Galliano’s charmed rise to fame reads not unlike a fairy tale. His genius is his ability to communicate this through his clothes. He also has immense ambition. Behind his gentle aesthetic, John Galliano is a powerhouse, a man whose ambition to go down in history as one of fashion’s great is awesome, even intimidating.
