In the Spring/Summer 2024 Maison Margiela artisanal show during Paris fashion week in January, British designer John Galliano stunned the fashion world with a collection that featured innovative tailoring and theatrics that hearkened back to his renowned runway shows in the 1980s and 1990s. Inspired by the portraiture of Brassaï, the show aimed to capture “a walk through the underbelly of Paris, offline.” After his fall from grace in 2011 following multiple antisemitic drunken outbursts, an event that resulted in a court sentencing and sacking from his job as creative director of Dior, Galliano was kicked out of this elite fashion club.
