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 Private Showing At Paris Fashion Week

One thing for sure John Galliano will never lose his talent. Galliano Fall 2011 Collection was showcased privately at Paris Fashion Week and it was like seeing all his designs throughout the years in one collection. The 30s era was the inspiration for hair and make up which went perfectly well with Galliano tailored suit jackets. The hand of Galliano will truly be missed, hopefully it wont be for long...

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!

John Galliano Menswear Fall 2010

It's elementary, kittens.

So Johnny put on a Sherlock Holmes-inspired show:

"Galliano looked beyond the caricature cinematic Holmes to Conan Doyle's brilliant but troubled investigator and martial arts expert with an opium habit.

Models in layers of swishing overcoats in heavy tweeds and fur-lined deerstalkers opened the show, followed by straight-laced Victorian gentlemen in bowler hats and razor-cut three piece suits. Some of those particular characters — modeled on Holmes in his Baker Street daywear — were laced tighter than others, as evidenced by the ladies corsets that peeked out from beneath their slim trousers in Prince-of-Wales checks.

Then came Holmes the martial arts enthusiast, his head shrouded in gauzy bandages and wearing jewel toned briefs and dragon printed satin boxing robes. Holmes the decadent frequenter of London's opium dens came next, in bejeweled Chinese pajama pants and jackets in deep purple velvet."

Clearly, by the time you get to the corsets, you're meant to lean back and enjoy the show because that's what Johnny loves to do; put on a show for you and tell you a story. You can shop for pieces later. At least we would. There are some fucking awesome suits and coats in this show. That 4-button double-breasted pinstripe tailored so tight you can cut paper on it? TO DIE. We're so in love with so many of the pieces here (and it's Galliano so you really have to mentally disassemble each look to see each piece) that he's almost got us believing we could pull off a bowler hat, possibly even a cape.

But not a corset, poodles. Never that.
