John Galliano Sacked From Own Label

This is not a good year for designer John Galliano. First Galliano was sacked for his anti-Semitism in earlier March from Christian Dior, and now WWD reports this morning that John Galliano has been fired from his position as head designer at the John Galliano label.

Galliano label was set up in 1984, after he graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and 91 per cent is owned by Christian Dior SA, therefore there's no surprise Galliano would be let go by them aswell.

According to sources 'the 17 year old firm's board recently met and decided to eject the maverick British designer'.

Such a shame I can't imagine the Fashion world and especially the runways without the creative Galliano. Start stocking up on your Galliano designs, they will be history soon...

John Galliano Has Been Dismissed From Dior

What a hectic couple of days its been for Designer John Galliano, he was arrested for his anti-semitic rant at a bar in Paris Marais district last Thursday. Because of his unfortunate behaviour Galliano has been fired from Fashion house Dior.

Having said racist comments to couple Geraldine Bloch and partner Philippe Virgiti, and then a video surfacing where Galliano made other remarks when he was drunk, didn't really help his case, as its caused him to first be suspended then fired by Christian Dior Fashion house and only days before Galliano was meant to show his latest Fall/Winter 2012 collection at Paris Fashion Week.

As much as I don't agree with whatever Galliano said he was drunk at the time and mistakes happen. Dismissing Galliano will be a great loss to Dior, lets not forget how extremely creative and talented Galliano is. To be honest one of the reason's I couldn't wait to see Paris Fashion Week especially Haute Couture Week was for the Dior show by Galliano. Whoever will replace being creative director at Dior has big boots to fill, rumour has it Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, Christian Lacroix and Haider Ackermann are being suggested. Otherwise I wonder if John Galliano will still design for his own line Galliano?

The Heart of Fashion Paris Couture Week

Paris Haute Couture week kicked off with Armani Prive, where we witnessed crystalled jewels and silhouette designs which got our jaws dropping.

Now let us show you the man who gives us chills down our spine when we see his Haute Couture Collection, Monsieur John Galliano.

For Christian Dior Couture Collection Galliano went for volumptious ballgowns, heavy embroidery, feathers and dramatic make up. Galliano is all about confidence and when you see the models strutting there stuff down the runway, you just know there loving it, I know I would, it's Galliano designs!

In Love!

Christian Dior Spring 2010 Haute Couture

Strike a pose!

FWD:

"Equestrian chic was the big news in Christian Dior’s spring haute couture show Monday afternoon, Jan. 25, in Paris, where the house’s couturier John Galliano looked to fin de siecle ladies who hunted, rather than lunched.

Specifically, Galliano referenced the late 19th century women who inspired Charles James, the neo-classical American designer whose more extravagant shapes also inspired Monsieur Christian Dior himself when he developed the 1947 New Look show, one of the most influential collections ever made. "

Our reactions to this collection are all over the place but then again, so is the collection. Let's start with the good: beautiful pieces, very much in the Dior mode, gorgeous color story. The not-so-good (or, at the very least, the parts we're ambivalent about): well for one, it's "very much in the Dior mode." We realize we just used that as a compliment but there's a flip side to that. He's not really doing anything to put his own stamp on the name. He keeps rehashing the same silhouettes and styles. Plus he's all over the map, going from New Look-inspired equestrian looks to these almost swinging '60s-style party dresses in the same collection. The other part that we have a major problem with is the styling. This is Dior haute couture. Leave the drag queen hair and makeup for the Heatherette shows.

Maybe we're being a little nitpicky. It is a gorgeous collection, after all. It's just that it feels like a lot of the same old, same old.
