THE TRUE BIOGRAPHY BY JOHN GALLIANO
| 30/06/13, 01:03 | |
John
Galliano was born in Gibraltar in 1960. In
1966 his family moved to London,
where in 1984 he graduated from St Martin's School of Art with a 1st class Honours Degree. The
maturity of talent evident in Galliano's final year show was unprecedented.
Inspired by the French Revolution, the Collection met with strong support from
both buyers and press. Joan Burstein of Brown’s immediately placed the
collection in the window of her boutique. John Galliano was launched. Galliano
continued to show in London
until Spring / Summer 90 after which he began showing in Paris. He won the prestigious "Designer
of the Year" with his Spring / Summer 88 collection inspired by the
character of Blanche Dubois in ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’. Further accolades
were to follow with the "Dress of the Year" award at the Bath Museum
of Costume. Inspired
by Napoleon and Josephine, the romantic elegance now synonymous with the name
of John Galliano became overwhelmingly evident in his Spring / Summer 92 collection. After a
break of one season and having moved to Paris,
he returned with his Spring / Summer 93 'Olivia the Filibuster' collection. Galliano’s
Autumn / Winter 94 - 95 collection was a significant change in his approach to
fashion. Rather than producing a large collection, he decided to concentrate on
a smaller 'prêt-à-porter couture collection', as termed by the press. A
collection of such detail and elegance called for something finer than the
traditional défilé. Galliano found the perfect setting in Sao Schlumberger's
Hotel Particulier which helped to
recreate the intimate, yet Grand Salon atmosphere of the 1950s, perfectly
complimenting Galliano’s clothes. John
Galliano was awarded the prestigious British Designer of the Year Award for his
Autumn / Winter 94 - 95 collection. It was the second time that he had received
the accolade. In July
1995 it was announced that John Galliano would be the new designer for the
House of Givenchy, responsible for Haute-Couture and Prêt à porter. It was an
appointment that reflected Galliano's ability to renew the elegance of couture,
while at the same time creating a completely modern style. Galliano
was awarded British Designer of the Year 1995 for an unprecedented third time
and Telva Magasine’s Designer of the Year Award 1995, Spain’s most
prestigious fashion award. He
showed his debut collection for the House of Givenchy - Haute Couture Spring /
Summer 1996. Consisting of fifty outfits, he captured the spirit of Givenchy
and infused it with his own vision. It was
announced after Galliano’s second prêt à porter collection for Givenchy that he
was the new designer for the House of Christian Dior, responsible for both
Haute Couture and Prêt à Porter, with his first collection, Spring / Summer
1997 Haute Couture, in January 1997. Galliano
was awarded the Oribe Award for Design by the prefecture of Gifu,
Japan.
The award celebrates design in all forms and was named after Futura Oribe, a
warrior and master of the tea ceremony. Galliano
was awarded the 1997 British Designer Of The Year Award for an unprecedented
fourth time and also won the VH1 1997 Fashion and Music award for Best Women's
Wear Designer. He was
also awarded America’s
most prestigious fashion award - the CFDA's 1998 International Award. The award
was preceded by a Dior Haute Couture Spring / summer 1998 presentation. The
Galliano bag collection was launched during the week of the Haute Couture in
2000. It was a comprehensive collection that consisted of four lines covering
both day and evening. It was the first accessories line to be launched by
Galliano. The shoe collection followed
in summer of 2001. In
November 2001, John Galliano was invested as CBE (Commander of the British Empire) by the Queen at the Buckingham Palace. The
lingerie collection was launched in January 2002. It was a natural progression
for the designer as he was often inspired by the lingerie for his prêt-a-porter
collections. In May
2003, John Galliano opened his first boutique in Paris on rue Saint Honoré. "Hi-tech romance" is the phrase
that best describes the concept. The shop represents a mix of the savage and
the refined, raw and polished, contemporary and historical, the contrasts that
are often found in John Galliano collections.
The boutique is completely transparent and there is no shop window as
such – the shop itself becomes the window. The year
2003 also saw the launch of the menswear collection which has been an immediate
success with both press and clients. First menswear show was presented in
January of 2004. John Galliano continues to grow from strength to strength both
in his eponymous line with more than 200 clients worldwide as well as at the
house of Dior. The latest addition is a young line "galliano"
produced in collaboration with Italian company Ittierre. This line is young and
funky, very rock and roll, the essence of John.  by press John Galliano | |
