Following rumours that began last week, it’s been confirmed that John Galliano will be making his move back to fashion. The designer will be joining Paris-based fashion house, Maison Martin Margiela as creative director and is expected to show his first designs for the house in January during Paris Couture Week.
“Margiela is ready for a new charismatic creative soul,” said Renzo Rosso, president of OTB, which controls Margiela. “John Galliano is one of the greatest, undisputed talents of all time. A unique, exceptional couturier for a Maison that always challenged and innovated the world of fashion. I look forward to his return to create that fashion dream that only he can create, and wish him to here find his new home.”
This will be the first collection overseen by Galliano since he was dismissed by Dior in March 2011.
