The fashion industry was shocked by unexpected news – British fashion designer John Galliano is leaving the post of creative director of Maison Margiela after ten years of work.
Who will take his place is still being determined. Like the brand, the designer has yet to reveal plans for the near future. Nevertheless, there is an opinion that Galliano can take the post of creative director of Chanel since the fashion house’s leadership has yet to find a replacement for Virginie Viard.
It is essential to say that the fashion designer leaves Maison Margiela at the peak of popularity. Galliano’s unique style and jewelry work, along with the brand’s heritage, made him one of the most fabulous designers of our time. What is worth only his last spring-summer collection, which he presented at the couture Fashion Week in Paris.
Galliano joined Maison Margiela a few years after being fired from Dior. Then he experienced difficult times: his legacy was destroyed by one sloppy phrase with an anti-Semitic character. In addition, he suffered from a serious alcohol addiction, which he managed to overcome; Galliano has been sober for 14 years.
