John Galliano: Fashion’s Greatest Showman Turns Ciné-Auteur | The Business of Fashion

- BoF's editor-at-large, Tim Blanks, sat down with John Galliano in Maison Margiela’s Paris headquarters to watch the latest film he has made with director Olivier Dahan for MM’s Spring 2022 Co-Ed collection.
Film has become Galliano’s fascination over the past twenty months. The designer who was responsible for some of the grandest live spectacles fashion has ever seen in the glory days of the Nineties and Noughties was seduced by the idea that, with all the restrictions of the pandemic, he could still make memorable, even startling visual co-relatives for his clothes. “There was no way I was not going to create, even if it was with a small team,” Galliano says. “This idea that through film we could reinforce the ethics of house took on a great appeal for me.”

I LOVE JOHN!!!! AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THAT ONE MOMENT OF HIM BEING INTOXICATED AND SELF DESTRUCTIVE DOES NOT DEFINE HIM. I ADMIRED HIS WORK AND HIM AS AN ARTIST.
Yeah ,totally agree .
Who hasn't gotten drunk And said stupid shit, I have too .ha ha.
That one time he was intoxicated and self destructive AND GOT CAUGHTON CAMERA!
Sorry, but hurtful and antisemitic comments are NEVER okay!
He was a miserable person back then and this „little incident“ let him changed. Thats what i appreciate. We can forgive but should never forget
@@doedelbroesel3239 just sitting in a cafe, Galliano, for no reason at all, was insulted by a Jew.ish woman, calling a rooster.
And his answer was vilely filmed. They alone are guilty of the situation and should be convicted of insulting the personality of the designer.
I think something important to say as well is let's hope he's learned a valuable lesson and is/has changed
😆 it was many moments though
It was through Galliano's Dior that I realised my love for fashion as a child, so fantastical
I have so many memories of just watching the Dior Couture shows in AWE of his work!
& Alexander McQueen
Same! Old shows used to reair on a Canadian channel Fashion Television and I was in awe as a child watching them. That love later inspired me to (years later) have the guts to switch from science (thanks parents lol) to fashion marketing.
I don't have words to describe or express how I admire that man. He's so talented and passionate about fashion. We all know he made mistakes but who didn't? To me, he'll always be a great designer and a great person ❤
What mistake did he do? On a general thought, Apartheid is taking place somewhere. Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
@@beemoun said sum anti semitic shit
Love this genius man! We need him. Fashion desperately needs him, with McQueen and Lagerfelt gone the industry is suffering. They made everyone step up their game!
Today's politically correct fascism is killing fashion.
...and he's not going anywhere, he's still designing. Instead of designers uplifting the industry, I'd say that it is the fact that most luxury brands are nowadays owned by just a few companies and in order to maximise profits they won't invest in risky designers or truly innovative ideas - because they generally don't make money.
*Lagerfeld*, yes you are right
@Kaylin Privy mine too! Exactly these 3
So glad it’s Tim and not Imran talking with John. Seeing Tim makes me miss Fashion File so much. I wish he’d break out and do his own thing, he’s an icon in his own right and a true rarity among fashion journalists.
Exactly, Imran should never be on screen. Tim is the legit icon.
No need to be so nasty. Imran sought Tim out for BOF because he knows he's fantastic. So unnecessary and dismissive. Imran created BOF and is also a force, hello.
I loved Fashion File. It was my source for fashion. I love Tim also.
Fashion file is why I went to fashion school. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thanks for mentioning.
Exactly. I know everyone needs a check but Tim is more iconic and valuable than ANYTHING on the entire BOF world. The camera doesn’t lie. Imran comes off like he’s pretending to be nice but is really the biggest prick behind the scenes. Maybe I’m wrong but he’s horrible for his own brand: not inclusive at all as he aspires to be.
I wish someone could do a documentary of his life since leaving Dior. I think he has paid dearly and....unfortunately so has the world of fashion from his absence. He is a bit guarded at times, but grateful to have this interview. Yes, time flies. JUST. DO. IT!
If he didn't say stupid shit there would be no reason to guard himself. Your people need to learn and I said what I said that when the world was created it was not for white people alone. But because the majority of you are bigots this will be the result.
@@kumsinnasadi6051 If you hate him so much then don't watch the interview. Judging by your words, you should deal with your own bigotry first.
Absolutely would love a documentary on how dozens of the rich, powerful & influential, proactively enabled his bigotry.
@@pseudopuppy160 Actually, it was the rich and powerful who tried to cancel him. But of course you knew that already...
@@danbowman9294 Bernard Arnault fired him from his job, because Galliano's bigoted outbursts became public knowledge & on record.
I want the world to change. I want to live somewhere that forgiveness exists and we no longer need to be constantly looking over our shoulder in case someone is filming us without permission :(
The combination of him being very intelligent and studios plus having a fantastic excitement about life is an infectious combination, I very much enjoy listening to John speak. I think he's wonderful, warm and engaging. I love that he steers right off the topic then somehow picks it back up again. It'd be great to have John as a friend.
My teenage hero. Forever in my heart. Love you, John.
Me too. When I was 13 til 17 John Galliano was my superhero. And now that I'm older I realize how talented and sweet he really is
Two of fashion's greatest landmarks..........the Galliano Era was unforgettable.
We need Tim Blanks to do THE BOOK of Galliano`s career, work and eras.
JG... admired his creativity since i was a teen. I'm now 45, almost 46 and he still blows my mind. Pure talent, just like Lee.
McQueen was an utter genius as well.
John Galliano; Alexander McQueen & Mugler. My holy Trinity.
Such a beautiful interview! Tim is so sincere in how he looks at John with complete presence and attention. John trying to be open and transparent. John is an amazing designer, and his most recent show, under the Bridge in Paris, was proof of his genius! Thank you Tim!
Still remember that shy boy sitting on a sofa at Taboo, still at St Martin's, all young with the world in front of him...
I love how well Tim listens to John. Tim's casual style brings some incredible quotes: the one about their belief in the future being their armor is genius. Also love how Tim gracefully closed with John's quote about youth being a balm for the soul. Lovely.
How wonderful to see and listen to Galliano , he is so fascinating and his art is astounding..would also love to see a documentary of his life x
Galliano - genius of all time! I love Galliano! I love Galliano's artistic creathions! ❤️❤️❤️
I remember working for John in London. A charming man and so creative. The ‘Art’of fashion always present. After lunch one day I returned to the studio, he opened the door in a ball gown and accompanied me to my work station. I was a student……so much fun. The team were so lovely too. 🙏 I am lucky to have these memories
How lovely! I’ve been an intern in the fashion/beauty world and not everyone is kind so that’s nice to hear.
Thank you for responding.
Love this story of your experience with John. He is magic. My time with him was beautiful beyond description.
@@suzannevaichinger8233 we have been the lucky ones. I am humbled to have been in the right place Central St. Martins at the right time in the 1980s when fashion was exciting and a creative place. But now I work in nature with horses as a healer for people who need it.
The industry of fashion for me now is alien. It does not serve me anymore. But John is the only designer I have time for who has a vision/ point of view worth listening to. 🙏
@@s_fashionlover ttttttt000pp0
John is masterful, the poetry of his designs. We don't see it anymore in fashion... It's good to see Tim too.
Such a beautiful Conversation. Such a pleasure to hear Tim and John. Cuts right through the soul.
Love you John!!! Thank you for all beautiful moments you share with us. Can t wait to see what you will do next.
A true Fashion Master Genius!
John Galliano is a fashion genius!
I think that John Galliano would be a great teacher in the classroom. As I listen to him, he reminds me of the biographical book I read about the renowned Italian filmmaker, Federico Fellini, about twenty years ago. They both have a certain degree of artistic playfulness.
The book by Tullio Kezich?
@@jimmurphy9904 No. I think it was another author. It was a long time ago.
nope...artists don't have the patience
This was SOOOOOooooo lovely. Love the capture of this. A Sunday morning cuppa and conversation warm feels that is so inviting. The energy of these two amazing humans! THANK YOU!
Lovely to listen to this, and see John again
Grateful to have witnessed his incredible work! ❤️
this interview is a balm for the soul =]
John Galliano is sooooooo much more interesting now… I always loved him and his work, but now he is mature and very very interesting…I buy a lot of Margiela clothes and I’m very proud to say: Hey look, John Galliano drew this! Wow!
The most eloquent men in fashion ✨👏🏼
John Galliano 👑The 4EVER ICON👑
I miss Tim Blank's fashion file show, i can't believe it's over.
Superb interview, what insight and inspiration from a great artist.
I’m glad John is still here, I miss Lee and Issy though.
I have always loved John Galliano’s laugh.. it’s wonderful ❤️
What an amazing human being. Every time I listen to John Galliano I am even more awed and captivated. Magical.
John the icon fashion God of all times . MR Galliano Thank you for all the incredible inspirational garments you have shared and made .Tim thank u for this interview, it gave me a light as what happen to this iconic man .
I've loved this skillful's man work for ages; he is a total legend...even beyond a legend and such an inspiration. People can learn a lot from him by observing how he handles ideas and how he "fishes" them on a hook. Great interview.
Absolute genius and a great human being, I could listen to him talk for hours! I love Tim too and how relaxed they are together.
John Galliano being de-Throned when he was, was the greatest travesty in Fashion History. He's such a sensitive creative & the World has suffered for the loss of continuity
Thank you both.
I always love John. No matter what
Absolutely!!!
The man was drunk and said a bunch of nonsense. They turned him into Hitler. I mean talk about thinks being blown out of proportion.
@@Commentator541 Yes, very true. Everyone on this planet has made nasty, mean-spirited remarks at some point in their lives.
@@danbowman9294 I think we can still appreciate him and his work without making light of what he did. No, not all of us go on bigoted tirades like that.
@@icemeoutlikeelsa "without making light of what he did". He didn't do anything. He made offensive remarks while under the influence, and was recorded by some harpies. Every day people physically assault each other, kill each other, etc. Galliano didn't hurt anyone. He merely offended a few. And I'll bet you've made plenty of offensive remarks when you're not being self-righteous.
This is such a gift. Thank you
True artist, Genius.
A genuine person a genius
Galliano no tiene que pedir perdón a nadie, porque es un genio, le quiero, es medio español.
gibraltano
Galliano seems guarded. While it's not I who needed the apology, apologize and repent he has, at least, it seems. Apart from that, hiis genius is not lost. It would be impossible considering all the beautiful, poetic, breathtaking moments he created.
😢
May be me, but I think he's a bit irked because it's probably the millionth time someone has brought up the Opera Garnier show and want him to say something fresh about it. I know I'd be, considering he's still putting out interesting work but a lot of interviews still want to talk about his tenure at the D-word which should not be named in this interview. Some of Tim's questions also seem a bit... abstract and it's not just John who wants some clarification on what he's asking.
Two True Geniuses! Love John & Tim!
It was like being a voyeur in this wonderful chat..such comfortable surroundings and relaxed conversation..nothing seemed unnatural or contrived..enjoyed it all..thankyou..❤
Через Гальяно я узнала о Диор. Что мы могли знать вообще? Не было интернета, не было мобильных телефонов и потом вдруг Диор ..
The intelligence and creativity of John Galliano really shines through in this “tete à tete”! Amazing person/ human being and not just a fab/ genius designer!
Loveee truly one of the most talented designers!!♥️
such a pleasant interview
Galiano doesn't need another name next to his. Galliano has a God given gift. We love you John
I love his art so much , his madness and everything he created is magic . Dior lost one of the most genius chef designer ever .
So talented He is
John Galliano is a treasure of fashion. He is God in fashion. Thank you for this great interview.
Wonderful interview. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Respect and so much love 💕👑🎩
Bravo and Well-done Mr Galliano !
Great interview, John is great as always, thank you.
when john laughed when tim said that people don't look older (coz needles, i guess? lol)
Great interview! Loved every second of it. I see two smart, intelligent men who share wisdon and are full of energy and so handsome. Thank you! John Galliano is the endless inspiration!
What a gift John has I just admire his talent
I just now discovered John and he's such an icon. i love how he thinks and talks. very genius.
John said his truth yes intoxicated but he felt his owners were taskmasters . I admire he got SOBER and turned trials to triumph
He is a genius.
Folk Horror is the best fashion film ever. I remember stocking that Margiela camel coat with the velvet collar he's wearing - maybe the first Margiela Line 10 collection around 2003 - an Hermes reference.
Thanks for presenting this interview; I really enjoy it. Where or how can view your first film "Revelation?" I couldn't find it, would love to watch it. Merci beaucoup!
ShowStudio channel maybe. Revelation isn't the title; Tim was referring to the film as a revelation of JG.
GIVE THIS MAN THE top job at Chanel!!
John Galliano: WOW‼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
John is one of the last of the living legends in fashion - he’s up there with McQ in my book. On another note, there’s an original ’Banksy’ casually leaning up against a radiator
Ah no, that's a Warhol.
FABULOUS 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 THANK YOU 🙏🏿
From a fashion outsider, I see Galliano is an artist of the highest tier.
Galliano has changed the sthetics and the thinking of our times...Jhon is the big ones of the century, his work is imortal
Wow it was really funny, cool and all. Love on you guys
I loved him
I love John Galliano....he truly is a gentle romantic soul from another time. I know he had an awful moment but his true nature is very lovely and thoughtful.
Genius John. L O V E ❤️
you are my inspiration a gift given to art and fashion.
i am glad to see live dior collection here in Qatar
🤩MASTER GALLIANO FOREVER 🙌🏾✨✨✨
John is a genius I love his work 😍
“There HAS to be doubt”… “the body hankers for that”…. We want to be vulnerable and delve into the unknown, adventure, curiosity, risk… all part of the creative practice and full human experience.
John is incredible!
John's voice sounds like Harvey Fierstein's voice ( Torch Song Trilogy )
I love this diseigner so much
"sometimes i have about 4 obsessions going before lunchtime" ❣
I can listen to him speak hours and hours. So perfect and flaws like every human.
gallino is so all over the place in conversation. I love it
He's probably adhd, like most creative geniuses
Вы классный,просто не у всех далеко есть умение,а оно только в сердце, увидеть ...хватит загорать,не старик,дома сидеть...
Je m'en fiche de la mode mais j'adore cet artiste , sa personnalité et sa créativité 😍
💚 fabulous
John has got to be the Most 'engage*' designer EVeR...
