John Galliano - Designer

It was hard to find the Galliano name in that dress wore by the official face of Dior Anya Taylor-Joy.
All the sites describe it as "Archival Dior".
Why they didnt want to describe as vintage Galliano for Dior?

Galliano and Grazia Face to Face in Dior ateliers.

Because the only time they ever really reference Galliano is in reference to the Saddle bag. I don't know if MGC was given a directive or if she just gravitated more to Bohan, but she hardly ever mentions Galliano, it's always Bohan and Dior himself.

They probably still want to distance themselves from the scandal. especially with today's climate. Just yesterday, Vogue posted about the Lacroix acquisition and used Anna Wintour's first Vogue cover image w/ model Michaela Bercu. The comments are Israeli flags, comments in Hebrew, also accusatory because Vogue did not credit the model who is Israeli and also responses to those comments about Palestine. Dior wants to remain non confrontational as it's still very much a conservative brand with a wide umbrella of customers. Why poke the bear?

I don't think it's a mistake that when we see archival Galliano, it's an understated look that can easily be credited as archival or vintage.

Reminds me of the Dior book I read (can't remember the title) that had more designs by MGC than Galliano in it, I think it was only published a few years ago. :lol:
 
The book I mentioned with the mild Galliano-erasure is this one: Dior: The Legendary 30, Avenue Montaigne. It's actually cute when it discusses the founding of the house and the layout/structure of it all. The book gets fishy in the section with designs from the Dior Archives, it includes about the proper amount you'd expect from the other designers at Dior, but the amount of outfits by Galliano vs. MGC just ain't right.... I'll have to grab it off the shelf and re-count.

It was incredible how the name of John Galliano was erased with hate from the Dior headquarters, from the "Heritage" section in its web site to the museums where Galliano designs shined by themselves without the designer credit. The He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named rule felt strong.

I had thought that virtue signaling was so 2023...
