Fashion Designer: John Galliano

John Galliano is part of the new-breed of avant-garde British designers. Known for his innovativeness and being experimental, John Galliano is an exciting designer. His brilliance comes from his ability to create a new look based on diversity.

His haute couture designs are theatrical and ahead of its time. When translated to street clothes, they are wearable and fluid. Galliano has eyes for details, his collection always completely accessorized.

He became internationally acclaimed during the 80s, one of the spearheads of British designers who swept the fashion world in that decade. With Galliano Girl and Galliano Genes, he developed clothes for the younger set of his mainline buyers.

When Christian Dior was bought by LVMH, Bernard Arnault offered Galliano the House of Dior. It has been an ideal marriage since then. John Galliano revitalized the House of Dior, made it more contemporary and totally redefined the meaning of the "New Look."
