Now creative director of Maison Margiela, John Galliano began his career in London in the late 1980s, immediately after graduating from Central Saint Martins. After being appointed head designer at Christian Dior in 1996, Galliano went on to create two collections a year for his eponymous brand. They acted in many ways as a laboratory of ideas, allowing him to let his imagination run wild, free from the commercial pressures associated with a house as iconic and as global as Dior and the influence of the hallowed house’s iconic pieces – a pure expression of his personal design style. Opening with an essay on the designer’s work, John Galliano: Unseen unfolds chronologically. Included are thirty collections, each introduced by a short text by Claire Wilcox, revisiting the designer’s most iconic creations and revealing previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments that capture models, hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists and John Galliano himself at their greatest creation. Robert Fairer’s stunning photographs capture the glamour and frenzy that defined Galliano’s shows. A treasure trove of inspiration, they make this publication an essential reference for lovers of fashion and photography alike.
