Dior's avant-garde designer -- John Galliano
Although his clothes are often difficult to understand when on the hanger—with collars that seem to be bows or halter necks that actually fit over the shoulders—they are frequently ahead of the current fashion trends and eventually filter down the clothing chain to the High Street, as well as being picked up by other designers.
As part of a new breed of avant-garde British designers, Galliano led the way in the mid-1980s with his historically influenced designs. This fascination for period detail and adaptation of traditional styles into highly contemporary pieces has continued throughout his work. His great belief in the necessity to push fashion forward by learning from the past—coupled with his skill at balancing his designs with modern ideals—has earned him the reputation of a prodigy.
When Christian Dior ( Dior handbags )was bought by LVMH, Bernard Arnault offered Galliano the House of Dior . It has been an ideal marriage since then. John Galliano revitalized the House of Dior, made it more contemporary and totally redefined the meaning of the "New Look."
