If you go back to his work in the 90s, you'll see a fashion visionary in full bloom; his work, his personality, his exuberance-- such a genuine energy and passion. All that seemed lost as he slowly turned into a fashion caricature; the weird and awkward Seigfried & Roy look and style he adopted, and the bloated Vegas style he favored for his designs and shows for his own label and at Dior. This was all so much unlike the spirit of the Galliano I was excited for.
I'd prefer he get well first-- as long as he needs. Then, he can concentrate on his designs. He's not exactly homeless and on the streets, so as much as he was disgraced, he's not impoverished like some tragic character from Les Miiserables.... He was a struggling, and without money back in the late 80s and early 90s-- and managed to create some of the most beautiful, trailblazing fashions that are still strong and inspiration to this day, attracting the most famous models and supporters in the industry. I'm sure he can easily muster the same-- if not even more support when he's ready to return.

no offense but no one really knows if he's unstable emotionally or not, it's been more than a year since the accident happened and no one word has come out of his mouth. All that there has been are a couple of pictures of his outings, that's it.
