“The rumours… Everyone wants to know and everyone wants to dream,” teased designer John Galliano yesterday on his announcement that he’s departing from Maison Margiela after 10 years. “When the time is right, all will be revealed.”
Having the whole fashion industry on the edge of our seats, we’re all wondering where tf he’s going next. So, where’s everyone putting their bets?
There’s big rumours that John Galliano might be returning to Dior, unseating Maria Grazia Chiuri. The designer was let go from Dior in 2011 following his infamous scandal of antisemetic comments. However, his tenure at Dior was so excellent that maybe they want him back.
The luxury Italian house known for its maximalist, opulent aesthetic would benefit from Galliano’s equally maximalist, creative vision. Fashion misses the drama fr. And the CD seat is empty. LVMH (Fendi and Dior’s parent company) has not made any comments yet.
This one’s just confirmed. Yes, Matthieu Blazy is going to Chanel and he’s going to do an excellent job, but we had to include bc the rumours for Galliano at Chanel were going crazy. We would’ve loved to see Galliano’s take on the luxury French house. It’d be opulent, it’d be camp, it’d be extravagant. It would be everything that Galliano excels at.
