John Galliano

Between British irreverence and Parisian elegance, the treasure of a double heritage Born in London, the John Galliano brand found its full scale by establishing itself in Paris. His identity is based on the subtle blend of British impertinence and the couture heritage of Parisian fashion.

Built from this punk / post-punks deconstruction, the brand, which was extremely personalized, becomes a global house. A double culture as a marker of difference, which gives the House its legitimacy in the register of glamor as well as that of singularity.

In 2011, after the departure of John Galliano, Bill Gayten was appointed head of the House, where he now oversees all collections. More recently, he has played a decisive role in the development of the new line Designer men and women. This is designed as a complement to the main line and confirms Gayten's innate talent for fusing street inspiration and couture sophistication.

Architect at heart, this builder pays the same attention to the precise construction of a dress as to the building of an international brand. "I consider myself a modernist, while being deeply committed to the know-how, says Gaytten. Even today, I remain passionate about the cut, the pattern of the garment, which, at bottom, is a form of sculpture. "
