John Galliano - Designer, Creative Director of Maison Margiela

Not to contribute to the madness but I thought it was settled he’s going to Loewe? Was I dreaming?

At this point everything was being said about everyone and everywhere I only read that LVMH approached Galliano due to Wintour’s influence on Arnault.

John at Fendi.

I know what yous talking about but wouldn't it be fun to see Galliano try restraint and conservatism?

 

[blueorchid]

No????

 

[susseinmcswanny]

you know WHAT

Galliano, Jacobs, Rucci, etc... literally need to be locked in a retirement home at this point.

This is the kind of news that makes me go "okay... so what now?". Besides the last show, his vision at Margiela was so fractured but when it made sense it was just so dense and maudlin.

If he goes to Loewe, that'd be interesting for a season or two. After that I'd wonder where else it can go. Frankly, I'm just whelmed by all this. Utterly whelmed.

He's such a stunt queen.
The timing of his departure is only adding some oldschool drama to the conversation.

He will go to Fendi, Jil Sander or get his own label back...if he's lucky. lol

Nobody is even considering Rucci. Very mean.

Maybe we really are negative b*tches, after all.

Nobody in Margiela HQ knows where JG is going…. I am intrigued and SEATED

 

[blueorchid]

Well, not to Chanel. Thank god.

 

[FashionFanatico]

He's going to Diesel. Swapping places with Glenn Martens

My guess, after all these years of fall and rising from

The logic says he will get back his own brand.

The next step after Margiela should be either a house with haute couture DNA (but going back to Dior would be really weird, it won't happen) or regaining the house of John Galliano.

Being deprived of your own name must be one of the most humiliating things that can happen to an artist, if it wasn't your own decision.

That is why his letter of goodbye to Margiela was so joyous.

Irony of destiny: he was the designer appointed by Arnault when Givenchy was forced out of his own house.

I apologize for my previous post, the beginning is really sloppy, but I don't know how to edit 😅🤣

There's one brand where I think John Galliano would be great fit, but it's not LVMH: He should go to Etro. All that paisley; the house color scheme of magenta, orange, and chartreuse; the blend of Anglophilia and orientalism — it's perfect for him. And he would naturally raise house's profile in a way it sorely needs.
