John Galliano is set to leave Maison Margiela
John Galliano is set to part ways with Maison Margiela after 10 years at the helm of the storied fashion house. The brand confirmed the news to WWD today, having announced it to the company earlier this week.
The announcement comes after a great year for the house, which saw huge enthusiasm for the spring/summer 2024 couture show in January and also saw an impressive year on the red carpet for the brand with Galliano personally dressing the likes of Kim Kardashian and Zendaya for the biggest fashion event of the year, the Met Gala.
The house is yet to release a statement or announce a successor, but Renzo Rosso, president of the OTB Group (which owns Maison Margiela) described his partnership with Galliano as "enriching, life-changing and groundbreaking" to WWD.
Galliano joined the house in 2014, having previously headed up his own fashion label and working as creative director of Dior and Givenchy.
This latest announcement comes at a time of a lot of change in the fashion industry. Chanel is still without a creative director since Virginie Viard left the company in June, and there are plenty of rumours about who might be taking the top spot and the fashion designer musical chairs that could follow.
