Best of fashion 2014: Galliano at Margiela??

Monsieur John Galliano

We all know who John Galliano is. This british designer, who took in the mid 90's charge of Givenchy.

He's the one who opened the door to young british designers to be acknowledged as the most talented group of individuals in the world.

He's also the one who saw himself falling in pieces after a anti-semitic comment he did being drunk (allegedly) on 2011, who forced LVMH to fire him after being Dior's creative director for over 13 years.

Sad story, I know, but the guy is way beyond a simple remark, isn't he??

He's one of the most talented individuals the United Kingdom has had.

His flamboyant personality, and his theatrical inspired Haute Couture and Pret-A-Porter shows have given him a special place in fashion.

After that infamous incident that kept him away from fashion for nearby three years, he's back! Not at Dior or any LVMH ateliers, but with one of the smartest fashion's businessmen I've seen, Renzo Rosso from Only the Brave Group, who hired him as Maison Martin Margiela's creative director...

WHAAAAAT??? Margiela and Galliano in a single sentence?? YES!!! Monsieur Galliano will command this legendary belgian house, founded by Monsieur Martin Margiela, who is no longer part or leader of the design team, but who gave Galliano his seal of approval.

Monsieur Margiela himself gave his seal of approval to John Galliano's appointment

While Galliano is all about detail, luxury, volume, theatre, reference of the world's "cycles historiques", over the top styling;

A beautiful collection by the way :)

Maison Martin Margiela is about modesty, minimalism, recycling, luxury but shown in various unexpected ways.

I certainly don't know how these two different aesthetiques would work, but there are two things I know for sure:

a. Renzo Rosso is a business genious. He knows where to invest his fortune, and how to multiply it. (I want to be like him when I grow up hahahahaha).

b. Every single Maison Martin Margiela by Galliano piece will be a best seller. 100% sure of that! (He already has Ms. Anna Wintour's blessing, being the first person in the world to wear a MM Margiela by Galliano).
