It seems like this time the rumor had it right! John Galliano is the new creative director at Maison Martin Margiela! The news was confirmed today by OTB, Margiela’s parent company. “Margiela is ready for a new charismatic creative soul,” said Renzo Rosso, president of OTB. “John Galliano is one of the greatest, undisputed talents of all time — a unique, exceptional couturier for a maison that always challenged and innovated the world of fashion. I look forward to his return to create that fashion dream that only he can create, and wish him to here find his new home.” In these last few years Galliano, who has been Dior’s creative director from 1997 up to the 2011 controversy that lead to his resignation, has been keeping a low profile and this marks his comeback to the fashion scene. And what a comeback! Galliano will be responsible for all Margiela lines including women’s ready-to-wear and couture. He’s going to make his runway debut for the house in January, during couture week and we can’t wait to see which astonishingly visionary clothes this true fashion genius is going to present!
