John Galliano In Conversation With Nick Knight On The Future Of Fashion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2020
- John Galliano joins Nick Knight in conversation to discuss creating S.W.A.L.K. , a fashion film cum documentary for Maison Margiela Artisanal A/W 20. Here Galliano describes mourning the fashion show as we know it, and creating a new blueprint for fashion's future with Knight. The frequent collaborators discuss their over two decade long artistic relationship, and how this led to a new imagining of Maison Margiela. Describing fittings with Galliano’s muses, the atmosphere on Knight’s set and illuminating the core values of the house to the world via film, Galliano details a desire for transparency and new beginnings for the Maison.
Made in collaboration with SHOWstudio, S.W.A.L.K. opens the doors of the Margiela Atelier like never before via a myriad of film and surveillance techniques such as GoPro’s on the heads of the petite mains and drones flying into the studio. The process documentary features Knight's signature image manipulation and brings in such disparate references as the 80s club scene Blitz Kids, the veiled marble statues of the 1800s, and mysterious happenings in the Margiela Maison.

Galliano is genius, teacher of history, strory teller, romantic, funny, unique, sense of humor, and he Made dream through fashion
Galliano, you're the number one. We will never forget what you did at Dior's house. Collection after collection you are also taking Margiela to the next level. It's nice to see that you feel now more comfortable to speak in public. Hope you are well deep inside, beautiful soul.
He is such generous soul. He taught me many things when he showed his process. I will apply it to my paintings. Such an inspiration.
what's your instagram?
Amazing!
Galliano is the most amazing designer on this planet, he is pure magic!!
Definitely one of the greats. I’m loving what he is doing at Maison Margiela now too. He has shown such a versatility to his aesthetic and vision. It was his imagination and story-telling that always set him apart. His craftsmanship, cutting and sense of history, arts and culture are also sublime.
He so amazing
Sneaked into his shows in Paris, back then as a student. When this was still possible, in the late nineties.
It was amazing. Theatre, cinema,.. not just models walking down a line.
Clothes were colourful, immensely creative and handcrafted masterpieces.
The Cleopatra/ Egypt show for example. Nowadays ppl would shout “cultural appropriation”.😱
I call it cultural exchange. And i love it. 😍
Finely finely we can see and hear John properly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for this, could you please make this a constant footage for John specifically ? Where every season we can get an insight into his mind and progress. This means so much to me.
He makes a podcast for every season he does! play.acast.com/s/maisonmargiela/maisonmargielaartisanalaw21
Rhys Anger I know but it’s not the same it’s so edited and dramatized
For anyone who likes paraphrased points of discussion:
- Recognize the power of music in the creative process. It can affect both designer and muse during cuttings and fittings.
- More suppression, more fantasy. (The political landscape can be suppressive. How do you respond, fantasy wise?)
- Creating a blueprint for a new collection and the work that goes into it in a new way is appealing.
- Let others see how you work. Transparency is a good form of messaging. It allows the reinforcement of ethics, everything a brand or house believes in...ex. sustainability, regicla (? ) [ If anyone knows that term JG stated, please comment! ]
- Talking about what you do with passion and knowledge combined is engaging and illuminating. Can totally revolutionize the way someone perceives your fashion.
- Be who you truly are when in the light.
- NK asks JG if the cameras and its voyeurism changed the designs at all. JG says not the design itself, but more so with the swatches and their fabric allocation. Concept already took shape, but working with the beauty of all the fabrics doesn't often register in real time. With the cameras however, it did. JG saw from that extended perspective and perceived them to be more divine. Fleeting seconds and moments that are missed when under the runway schedule are now better felt, captured and less taken for granted. There is further enhancement and liberation of the fabric. The film captures how a simple technique can greatly transform it.
- NK seeks the artistic interpretation, thought process, and mind and heart behind any designer, especially JG.
- Energy, energy, energy! All creative energies on deck can lead to spiritual moments. It's like a journey, beginning with a pedestrian rhythm, slow perhaps difficult, but then it takes off and becomes a very spiritual, metaphysical state where creation feels natural and not hard.
- It's all about connection. When the teams are balanced, especially mentally, there is more potential for joy and connection because all are in the right mindset, in the right place, and at the right time.
- This energy fuels the fantasy.
- So much so, that even the muses can then join and take part. Can get lost in the make believe world where childlike energy is at hand.
- In order for different, collected energies to be released from everyone on set, there must be TRUST. It is a chosen family.
- Trust creates the space for the entire team to feel the connection and allows it to be magical. Provides the muses a new opportunity to embrace a new role, one they've always wanted, but never knew.
- You see with your heart when on set. It is during playback or checking photos where the eye opens.
- During the creative process, it is crucial to incorporate play. Play equates to liberation. Deconstruct, reconstruct, try upside down, inside out. You don't need illustrations to make a design. What matters is the concept and idea.
- Once you push your idea outwards into reality, never stop building on it. Doesn't matter how it looks on first try, keep pushing the idea out.
- With fabric and cuts, you never stop learning. There's always a physical dialogue with the tools of our trade.
- Pour energy into this pool of creative freedom. Then things pick up naturally and add themselves.
- If you let go and play, then so can your muses. It is important for them to assimilate their experiences. To feel the shaking after what is done and to talk about it, rather than them being rushed to the next job.
- Defaults of clothing can lead to a whole new way of cutting and exploring. Ancestral hand me downs are good because they involve history and heritage. It is nice to point that out. An individual's character can greatly influence the design and work of John Galliano.
If you've made it this far, thanks for being here. Peace
John is now in the firmament of geniuses, he's one of the best artists of this and any generation!

A true artist .greatest fashion designer ever.
Thank you Sir Galliano. Your "With Memory of" series is a splendid podcast! Such thought provoking ideas and manifestations I gladly apply to my work as an aspiring illustration and dressmaker.
After Lee McQueen & Karl Lagerfeld death. Let’s take care of him cos he is the only one alive. 💐
Yes!
💜💛💖💙💚❤
Oh my so true !!! They try to kill a genius when they fired him from Dior creation !!!
Don’t forget rick Owens and yohji too
YES YES YES PLEASE STOP SMOKING IT'S NOT ALL THAT !!! WE WILL MISS YOU TOO MUCH
He is such a great story teller
Goosebumps, Galliano is genius
I loooooooooovvvvvveeeeeee John Galliano and I respect the journalist a lot! Great duo! It’s a pleasure, thank you!!
perfect interview ! as always , interesting talks, and what a joy to be inside J.G salon, makes us feel really 'there'.
Imagine what he can do with this pandemic in a fashion show & bring a reunion of all the 1st super models . Galliano is a legend..
👍
Visionary. Inspirational & Iconic. 🖤
Thankyou Nick and John for sharing your thoughts / experiences. 🌜🙏🌛
Thank you very much for the conversation
Absolutely beautiful, Maestro Galliano! Love you so much!
John Galliano is a Fashion Genius. His designs are sublime. Such a talent! He should have been forgiven.
putting aside everything he actually did, he was by all means forgiven. The story isnt brought up in fashion news anymore and he has an extremely well paying prestigious and coveted job at margiela. there is nothing left to do to forgive him and his years at rehab were clearly necessary.
Thanks for sharing this. Both are brilliant.
I admire your talent, John, and creativity! You are the Best diziner of all time! We love you!
Galliano is really one of a kind!
I needed this. Thank you, Nick.
Very cool. Glad to know what you guys are up too. Ive been inspired by the small Apocalipse painting in the Manchester museum these pandemic days and the colors of the rainbow. Very hippie over here xo
I missed John!
Perfect . Absolutely perfect. About time John was on SS. Thank you so much for this . Made my day. Now just to add something. Just watched the full video . THIS IS HOW YOU DO a collection in a new world . Fucking amazing, inspirational and breathtaking. A huge thank you for this piece of art. No one has come close to this . I could cry I feel very proud ❤️
The Old Mule I wouldn’t use the initials SS considering what happened to Galliano after his anti Semitic rant 🤭
🤭
@@markusmulder_ Galliano was sitting in a cafe and did not touch anyone. Two Jewish women who were drunk insulted him, provoked him, said "rooster", because they did not like his headdress. The answer was vilely filmed. He was framed. What is not clear.
Those who first provoked the conflict are always guilty of the conflict.
I love you guys so much you John Galliano and you mr. Knight you guys contribute so much to the Fashion World you're all we have left and we appreciate you!!!
Ive always been impressed by john galliano! ✈️
Very relevant considering the circumstances the world is in at present! ✈️
I've found past videos of Galliano that left me feeling he was brash and arrogant. This wonderful interview shows me a side of him that totally vindicates my love of his fashion.
yes, now he's sober!
The best couturier in the history of fashion. I can tell JG is much happier right now more spirited than when he was with Dior house.
He is able to tap and chartered his other revolutionizing side in Margiela.
We love you JG may you live 100 years more for fashion.
🍀⚘🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹💐🌸💮🏵
i havent seen haute couture at it best since he left dior
He didn't leave, he was fired

John... Dior necesita que vuelvas! Desde que fuiste no recuerdo una sola colección de Dior buena o memorable
Me too
This is like fresh air!
thank you!!
He’s such a great designer and a beautiful soul. It’s obvious from his eyes
Beautiful soul? Check his history. He’s a disgrace

Very nice. Very insightful
I just love him so much John is amazing 💞
great talk !
I met you many years ago, John; outside the Royal Albert Hall,
Galliano you are a rock star, Im gaga for you. Oceans of love!
Nice to see he is happy, sober and productive again. All that stuff of 10 years ago shows that money and fame don’t bring happiness. He was drinking himself into a stupor every day due to stress apparently.

Galliano fashion genius
What a talented human being! 🙏🙏🙏
I have loved Maison Margiela way much when John Galliano became the creative director. I hope that the brand John Galliano can be given back to John Galliano and rebrand it to get back its glory.
I wish to see John Galliano in Latvia.May be one day visited my country,city Riga.
Thanks 🙏🏻
True genius .
Galliano FOREVER....!!!!!!
Amazing ❤️
I Love John. Gênio da moda. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
a living legend~how lucky are we
thanks u all!
I was very curious about the kids playing with the clothing. Any ideas what that's about? They showed the kids in the Artisanal documentary. They just have people's kids playing with clothing and designing things too?
@@anyagubar4172 I remember there were children. Like some type of nursery or play place doing things with the clothing
Genius mind, absolutely amazing.
Galliano = Genius 💋
John ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The best feat in fashion 🔥
OMG Galliano ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I fucking wish he gets his Label! With his name! It’s fucking not everything in money! What are they doing with it!
Galliano can’t stop working ! We need his creativity and wonderful work! Leaving Legend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I remember the top shop/howie/ david and Jean days 🌸
Very good...
Galiano SUPREME COUTURE ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ CREATIVE AND FUNNY ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Her nails are iconic. A serve
Galliano is the Leonardo da Vinci of designers. Just a thought;could he maybe look into the possibility of taking over at Ann Demeulemeester? Asking for a friend.☺️ That would be my wildest dream. We are heading towards a longing for induviduality i hope.
In my humble opinion.
This is speech from the president of fashion world.
He was the grand grand son of Monsieur Dior !! He made some Dior better than Monsieur Dior himself ! Gianfranco Ferré and John Galliano were the best Dior designers in this Haute Couture house !
When you see John, you just click. It is that simple.
john galliano is fashion geneisis i adore his ceativity
Fantastic designer
Absolutely legendary
When brilliant minds meet... Superb! #FASHIONICON 💖✨
Is Jeremy Healey's amazing work still included in John's vision?
Yes he still does the music for his shows
I'm anxiously waiting for the coming 2020 Hazmat Fall Collection.
Omg john please share a pic of u in the jacket!
John the Genius ❤
What Galliano Fashion Film are they talking about?
Maison Margiela Artisanal Co-ed Collection FW2020 - S.W.A.L.K
It's on Maison's YT channel. Check it out
IF one were to compare him to a painter/artist they might compare him with Salvador Dali, as to that which he imagines in his mind, mental processing system is quite unique, intrinsically interesting, intriguing. As such, the conversation about fashion changing, the industry changes, the changing of the individual/guard, all that which reflects how change occurs and while individual comparison is what happens, an art student painting their own portrait or a design student making their own clothes, is as it is. It might not be a JG design, it might not be a SD painting but it is an original. Whenever the population finds/discovers a talented creative they appreciate the individual all the while finding a sense of disappointment they can not be cloned. As it is, as it were, they can not be cloned. Everyone can still appreciate art, the arts, the artists, the creative, the creativity. It is possible, as so long as it is in order, as it should be, ethically. Humane, humanity. As JG is busy making a legendary legacy of himself. 😊
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Galliano's fashion remember me spanish baroque art. Intense, creative and gloomy.
Goddddd im dying for.maria to get kicked out of dior and let him come back.we lost mcqueen and he is the second best designer
While I love both....my first love is john. If I were rich (and had my victorian home), I would acquire his haute Couture from the past.
genius
True mastro
Hopefully the future of it is none slavery and none elitest like it is now. Bring on the charity shops so the money goes to the people not the person.
Then why are you watching these elitists?
You do realize you're talking about haute couture, right?
@@simmerdownsfarm because they're on UA-cam. That's what UA-cam is for. Watching stuff.
@@jameswelsh5432 that's elite. Fitted for the individual. Expensive fabrics and skilled labour. French. I get it. There are thousands of decent designers out there using old rag and coming out with some seriously beautiful work. They wouldn't get a look in here.
Galliano fashion genius forever
Самый лучший кутурие .Для меня
26:03
You best, i want work with you
he just melt me, wearing a busted hit in every corner no worries cartier santos in steel, with the busted basic black , if you know, you knows leather band. like i am doing... tell him i hunt his newspaper print, designs.
I did na zi see this interview happening.
That backlighting is too distracting. Hurts my eyes.
I was thinking about it.
This can start very strange kind of thinking.
I found the anchor in
the model that felt liberated.
First association I got after that, was the video by David Lynch
Bird of flames
ua-cam.com/video/gGjJFRPtdDI/v-deo.html
Entering the world of the lady with the face gown.
How did I get there.
The stations that led there.
It started in Death Valley, CA.
Zapriskie point.
The film by Anthonioni.
Blow up.
David Bailey.
The portrait of Cecil Beaton by David Bailey.
The alta moda collection of Dolce and Gabbana.
S.W.A.L.K.
What I took with me: I learned, that Cecil Beaton got an Oscar for my fair lady.
That this is his story too. He too got into High society -¨through fashion.
There is a tremendous amount of his energy in this film.
He too had to undergo a transformation to get there as Elisa Dolittle had to do.
Elisa Dolittle entered first at Ascot with a tremendous hat on her head.
White- and little less black.
The beginning of her transformation.
Bailey showed old Beaton in his beloved garden, he knew from childhood on, playing around with his white straw hat.
Familiar to the lady with the huge white hat at Ascot, but quite the opposite, what the transformation process ist concerned.
Bringing Beaton back. To nature. To roots.
At the alta moda collection of Dolce and Gabbana there was a hillariously huge straw hat, which I found very funny, but did not know why.
After this interview I knew. This hat can be considered as the result of the fusion of Audrey Hepburns Ascot hat in my fair lady and Cecil Beatons garden straw hat.
In S.W.A.L.K. what irritated me, were the ballet-like shoes made out of Chiffon.
Ballet is such a torture for the feet, especially the big toes, ballet looks so elegant, light and easy and is such a torture to the feet.
Maybe what David Bailey did to Beaton
David Knight did now to John Galliano
But it is not about hats
it is about shoes
Whatever S.W.A.L.K may actually mean, to people not having a clue, it is about some sort of walking...
etc
etc
etc.
NOTHING BEFORE NOTHING AFTER
EXPLENDED DESIGN ,CUTE personality! !@@The so called mass production destroyed the greatest designs dreams. ...it's so pitty 😂
After listening to this interview, the extent of fragility and volatility of the conveyed fashion concept became unbearable to me.
😶
