JOHN GALLIANO John Galliano was born on November 28, 1960, in Gibraltar.

He is a British fashion designer who served as head designer of the French haute couture houses Givenchy (1995-1996) and Christian Dior (1996-2011).

After graduating from Central Saint Martins, he launched his own line.

In 2011, his career went down when he was arrested for making Anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris bar.

EARLY LIFE His Spanish mother, a teacher, dressed her son in elaborate outfits, even when toting him along on the simplest of errands.

Despite being teased by his sloppily dressed schoolmates, Galliano’s mother instilled in him a bold and creative sensibility.

PROFESSIONAL CAREER His graduating collection in 1984, inspired by the French Revolution and entitled "Les Incroyables”. 

Galliano soon established his own label and enjoyed the support of various financial backers.

His collections were both dramatic and intricate, but within just a few years his elaborate visions were squashed by a lack of business prowess. He went bankrupt in 1990.

In July 1995, he was appointed as the designer of Givenchy by Bernard Arnault, owner of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, thus becoming the first British designer to head a French haute couture house. 

On 21 January 1996, Galliano presented his first couture show at Givenchy at the Stade de France.

The collection received high praise within the fashion media. Some of Galliano's designs for Givenchy were licensed to Vogue Patterns. 

GIVENCHY

DIOR

In October 1996, LVMH moved Galliano to Christian Dior, replacing Italian designer Gianfranco Ferre. 

At Dior, Galliano received critical acclaim for his Haute Couture and ready-to-wear collections.

In 2010, Galliano identified his love of theatre and femininity as central to his creations; he said "my role is to seduce", and credited Standard Oil heiress Millicent Rogers as an influence.

DESIGN AESTHETICS

His creativity, style, technique, craftsmanship are beyond ambitious.

Galliano is known for his own dramatic final-bow-costumes, finishing his shows wearing fantastical get-ups inspired by the likes of Napoleon Bonaparte and U.S. astronauts.

He finds china as his inspiration of work and dedicated his 2015 collections to china inspired work
