Galliano: Fashion’s Enfant Terrible – David Foy (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Galliano may have come from humble origins in Gibraltar and experienced a difficult up bringing in South London but this only fuelled his ambition to succeed, and led to a high-octane career at both Givenchy and Dior.For the first time in his extraordinary career, this essential tome for any fashionista will catalogue and examine his work in full – from his training at Central Saint Martins,his outstanding first collection and all his glorious future successes in Paris with those two iconic houses.In recent times Galliano’s story has been on an unfortunate and painful hiatus but he is now back in the full glare of the public eye, and this stunning visual retrospective will highlight the masterful and memorable storyteller of couture that he has become and will always be remembered for. Galliano will be a testament to a flawed but creative genius.* Fashion sells! Apart from the key core fashion market and those who buy and collect photographic monographs, this genre of fashion reportage in this affordable yet luxe format is now reaching a much wider audience.* There has been a resurgence of interest in Galliano which started in late 2014 and became even more visible with his successful collection for new Parisian house Maison Martin Margiela in January of this year.* Title will be launched at London College of Fashion, where the author currently runs a collaborative program, during London Fashion Week.* Recent titles linked into past exhibitions for Gaultier and Victor and Rolf at the Barbican, the current Alexander McQueen exhibition at The Tate Modern and Bowie at the V&A have all proved hugely popular and sellable.
