Very good video! By the title of the video i thought u were going to tackle this subject in a different way, but i agree with u completely. For me the funniest thing about this situation is that the fashionindustry is one of the most progressive industries out there when it comes to PC-culture, equality, etc. But they 'allow' this to happen, which is very peculuar in my opinion. Galliano is a legendary designer but this sends the wrong message. To me it seems there is a double standard within the industry, which is sad

Anna Wintour, she saw his student collection, told him to find the money in order to produce his collection so he could show at that couture season. John did that and the rest was history. He did a guest styling with Oscar de la Renta to test the waters of if he could come back into the fashion scene. Oscar, from my understanding, wanted to give him a shot at possibly becoming the next Creative Director of Oscar de la Renta but there was one very big problem... the clients said hell no. A fair amount of Oscar's clients were very wealthy people of Jewish Heritage and made it known that if he was hired, they would bolt. I loved John at Dior and many miss his work but what he said and did was inexcusable. You knew it was bad when Karl Largerfeld told him to "Shut Up" and to keep his opinions of "that nature" to himself and that his comments had the potential to bring the entire industry down. The fashion media did a very nice job of salvaging a career that if John had kept himself together, he wouldn't have had to salvage. An asterisk will forever be placed by his name and it is all his fault. John was not the only one to have drug and alcohol problems, but he was the only one who trashed his most important public, the clients of the House of Dior. I wish him well in his recovery and I hope he is living a better life now that he is by most accounts sober. To me, it brought to light a problem that was much deeper and more sinister concerning the fashion scene. His actions really started to expose all the cracks in the industry. I am sure through your research, you have noticed and understand why things are changing.

What I think is happening with all the trashing of female and minority Creative Directors is simply this, most are more concerned with the reality of comfort with design and profit. Fantasy is really not apart of the process at least not in the way we have become accustomed to. The collections are what women will actually wear and spend money on. The business aspect works with the present collections being presented. They are respecting the code of the houses they serve, but they are noting that the role of women has changed dramatically and that fashion will have to change with it. Fashion is too nostalgic and not looking forward. I have no problem with looking in the past for reference, however, one must not live there. The many who are mad with this new direction are stuck in that past. I also think fashion should only be two seasons and only have two collections a year, just spread out so as not to drain designers of their creative efforts. Slow this train down, make meaningful collections that are inclusive, profitable and a joy to watch again. I know there are a creative class of designers out there that need their come up, and it is up to Journalist like you, who can and should find them. Thank you for your consistent reporting on the fashion industry.

I first met john Galliano upstairs at Heaven nightclub in 1984 he was wearing a jacket that he had made himself from upholstery fabric.I had no idea who he was at the time but i told him i really liked his jacket and he was very nice and thanked me for the compliment.I have over the years been a big fan of his work and have even bought a good few peices.I do find it very sad that the fashion industry enables people to live their worst version of themselves to those around them..... and of course at that level of the fashion industry you are under so much pressure and that drugs have always been part of the day to day lifestyle of great designer. The have and will continue to distort reality of the lives of these people so rather than look on in disgust we have to have empathy and of course give people a chance to redeem themselves in what ever way they feel they can.I have witnessed myself on many occasions in the fashion world so much drug use and for some it really did get all to much but let us not forget to err is human.RIP Lee Mcq

He did and said some terrible, disgusting things, his talent can't be denied though, he's one of the best designers of the 20th / 21st century. Many of histories most amazing artist, designers and creatives were absolutely abhorrent people who did repulsive things as well as creating some of the worlds most transcendent and awe inspiring art. I'd never condone such behaviour, in many cases it's totally unforgivable but sometimes I think you do have to try and separate the art from the artist otherwise you are denying yourself a wealth of amazing creative output.

Magnus Carlsen, the world chess champion gave a great response when asked who his idol is. He said that he doesn't have idols, because he admires what people can do, not the people themselves. More people need to understand this, especially since nowadays, celebrities are constantly giving bullshit opinions on politics and other things, thinking they're somewhat smarter than others, and many take them seriously just because they are talented at something. John Galliano is a great designer. He can give his opinions on what he wants, but he's not smarter than anyone else just because he's a great designer. In fact, he might be a total moron. The same goes for other designers, artists, architects, actors, musicians and so on. These people can give you some great advice and interesting thoughts on their field (in Galliano's case, fashion), other than that, it's best that you don't idolize them and take them too seriously. You will be disappointed.

Same feeling Chisom. Same feeling. Very ugly business.

This is a common understanding of alcohol, but it's very simplistic. Alcohol is not a truth serum. It does; however, lower your inhibitions. So it's possible Galliano was a secret nazi. But it's equally possible that alcohol and drugs lowered his inhibition to say the worst thing you can think of to people you see as annoying you and read as Jewish. There are lots of dangerous implications from understanding drugs/alcohol so simplistically including that an intoxicated woman behaving with lowered inhibitions is "asking for it." Probably best to do a little research on information like this in future, especially if you have no first hand experience.

I really hope you do another video about other designer/people on the industry who have done similar stuff and where are now !

I got so sad when he got fired from Dior. Dior was working with Natalie Portman at the same time as face of Dior. She said she wont be working with this man (Galliano) after scandal, they fired him immediately and Natalie is still face of Dior. Galliano is the most creative designer and its very sad how he ruined his career/reputation/ respect overnight with drunk/high comments. He apologised too late as always.

Addicts do even worse things in active addiction. They lie, steal, hurt all kinds of people and are manipulative. Nobody is excusing what John said, but I think people need to understand that you can do things as an addict that are not at all representative of the person you are sober. I don't believe John Galliano is racist. When we drink we gets angrier faster (common fact) and tend to be impulsive. He was a blackout drunk. How can you judge him as a person when he is literally in a blackout? He may be an awful addict, but aren't all addicts awful (or most)? Sure fire him from Dior, but he doesn't deserved to be judged from this his whole life.

I think that the controversies some designers go through need to be remembered. And in some cases supporting the brand is like supporting the designers actions.

I think you will find the head of LVMH went to the editor of a magazine and asked for suggestions for someone to take over at Givenchy. He worked hard and got himself to the position he was in on his own. Most editors appreciated his talent.

It might be his character when in active addiction. Just something to think about. Read about addicts and their behavior.

Your logic is flawed. Racism is taught. Pedophilia and drug addiction are not. He can unlearn to hate. We all deserve a second chance and forgiveness is something we all should practice more of. People do and say stupid things under the influence but to equate his comments with murder? Seriously. Your argument is as bad as the journalists you criticize for portraying him as a victim. If his designs one day inspire a gay Latino kid from the barrio to become a success in fashion, then something good would have come from Galliano learning from his mistake and asking for forgiveness and the world learning to forgive. Peace.

ABSOLUTELY my good man!! I think Galliano is the most underrated designer in history...

we all need to take responsibility for what we say and for what we do, an irresponsible comment or action, as we've seen in Galliano's case ,can ruin a person.

You haven't seen the video, jesus

We don't know what was said to him up to this point in the conversation. It seems he was indeed filmed without his knowledge. It's not like he said these things in a press conference or an interview. Also we don't know what experiences he was subjected to by similar people earlier in his life. Would it be so shocking to hear the same this said by someone who has had their family torn apart from living through bombings in Palestine? I have a few friends who, when intoxicated, will say the most nasty things in an argument they can think of. Especially some of the gay ones. A gay man saying he loved hitler who, as he knows, clearly wouldn't have liked him (or worse) seems to me like one of these instances. A gay man being catty and nasty is nothing new to me and I expect you have seen similar given your career path. If he had endorsed the genocide of a significantly less financially influential race eg: Gypsies, I doubt his job would have been so severely affected or his words so publicized. Do you know what the Talmud says about how gentiles should be treated?

Alcohol isn't that simple, it also makes you just think fuck it and do something provocative for the sake of it, say something shocking. He looked like he was trying to shock them, maybe they annoyed him in some way and he was getting at them... that is how it looked. Extreme meanness for the sheer spectacle... now i could be wrong, he could have a secret room full of Nazi stuff. But alcohol can effect people in extreme ways.

That being said, it doesn’t not excuse a Galliano’s behaviour. He needs to learn to have self control and the only reason Dior wanted to get rid of him was because he was a problem which was his own doing.

You are teetotal (good for you) but I dont think professionals in addiction/ medical science would agree with your explanation. There is an element of Jekyl/Hyde from substance abuse. Not that it excuses misbehavior and Galliano did some terrible things, but at the same time one should give a balanced perspective. In your last example you draw an extreme comparison. If we decide to use the example of a thief instead then I dont think the answer is as clear cut and conclusive as you present it. Otherwise, we might as well execute anyone whos ever committed a crime irrespective of severity. Only someone who knows Galliano personally will have any clue if he has truly reformed but certainly hes been keeping a low profile and seems to be living his life in a different, more productive way now. He doesnt seem to be relapsing and re-living his past demons. It's fair to say redemption should be earned and not given as a free pass. It's also fair that he should be given a fair chance

The Fashion Archive agree) and I remember your note at the beginning of the video about its topic. Just watched ftv JPG last show and I got sentimental, started to rewatch all my fav shows again - most of those from Galliano x Dior era. Good old days of emotional fashion which I can’t imagine nowadays. Also, wanted to thank you for this channel. Almost forgot what it’s like to read and watch about fashion. Please, keep going 🙌

dior was putting so many collection on him and trying to create his own collections under his name im sure it was alot of pressure on him the fashion industry dont give a fuck about you or the designers all they want is good collection and clothes to be sold models and designes are slaves to fashion

This is true but it doesn’t excuse his behaviour. Otherwise every designer at a major house would’ve done the same thing. Think of people like JW Anderson that design for their own brand and a major brand simultaneously. Many others have done it and didn’t result to drugs, alcohol and abusing random people .

He acts like “I don’t remember” absolve him from accountability & consequences. Especially at his big age 🙄….miss me with the BS!

you have never been drunk? applauding you kind sir!

!John Galliano is the FASHION!

Very good video, not expert on fashion. But explained the subject very clearly.

Kind of off topic but Anna Wintour seems to love everything. Surely she has changed if she ever was truly that savage.

@@FashionRoadman Dior its on top, that's why nobody in the press dislike what they are showing right now. All the designers before have put something new to the house, Gallianno did bring new life at two fashion houses from the group , one Dior, (that all call too formal and classic). The new Dior era in terms of impact, inspiration, designs it will never be the same because the world were designers like Galliano, McQueen, Jean Paul , Ford, etc,etc, where kings of Fashion, its not the same a lot have change. The new era is full of Feminist themes( a thing it's not that bad at all) and Super comercial pieces that seen to sale really well, The clients don't want the pump up the value fashion that make Dior know to average people who rarely get to buy the clothes. The people have moved away from part of the excess and design style that the brand was simonimus back them,and the owners are fully aware of that. To me it's interesting how the show it's opened always for a White blond androgynous looking young woman, in comparison of the glamasomes women of previous eras ( Gayten, Simons,Ferre, Galliano) . If anybody saw the documental about the exhibit even the employees have a subtle way to say this era "its different" to all the designers eras before because the designs never change from the paper to the show. I think that still is too soon to write off Chiuri

Make no mistake, he is regarded well within the industry, of course people want to distance themselves from him but they go to Galliano for high quality couture, cause he is a true master

What he said could've been something I'd say. When I get angry or turnt up I like being creative with my insults and convictions. I start joking about rape, race etc. and it feels good to show my aggression. It feels good to be imposing and brash. I always cheer on the bad guy in movies, and I find dictators very sexy.

This part of me used to be more prevalent before I dropped out of school. Back then I felt trapped and powerless as my actions and thoughts were manipulated by the people around me, and my individuality beaten down. I've retaken control over my own life and like to think I've become someone more "powerful". I'm now able to be more virtues and express my naturally positive energy because I'm not in a prison.

Balder Grude I’m still a huge fan of John Galliano. He’s amazing but he deserved everything he got and people act like it was unfair

He’s so talented that I’ll forgive him lol. He was obviously plastered drunk and being a mean drunk, likely antagonized by the people filming him. Two sides to every story.

This was a good video but ultimately the Fashion industry among others doesn’t really care what the public thinks it’s purely a money game. You can have someone show their true colors and be a racist piece of shit, give him a few years off, then come back bigger than ever. Only way you can truly get rid of someone like not is not support any of their work and remind people of their past

Has anyone ever noticed his Galliano's phony accent? lol I mean the guy was raised in Streatham, South London and yet he speaks with this fake posh accent. Says so much about his character., doesn't it?

Right thanks for sharing & seeking that one out actually speaking out on that matter & also the tie in about Vogue that magazine, lost it's edge for me so many years ago,'way to bad of a background. Also I don't think you may realize your videos they are some how are repeating themselves or perhaps are on a loop control system maybe! & so I've notice too someone's commented on the bully mannequin though it actually appears to be a shirt form! Never the less is there a reason for the positioning of the item in the room!?!

One person that have issues with addidctions is a person that was sick. No matter what.

Excellent read.. too many people get away with too many lies by saying more lies that people either believe or have something to gain from them!!

I can't agree with that you sad. Alcohol affect on different people in different ways. It is not truth that when you drunk you show your real face. You can also lie or have an stupid idea to say sth and after all regards that.

@co to ma być, If someone gets drunk and then drives, gets in an accident and kills someone, they don’t get away with it “because they were drunk and didn’t intend to do that”. They are still responsible for their actions. Likewise, regardless of how alcohol affects you, what you do and say while drunk is still your personal responsibility because it was your choice to get drunk in the first place. Your actions are not devoid of consequence.

watch his july 2020 interview, here. instead of 9 years older, he looks 18 years older. maybe he did have abused alcohol for long time ?

Galliano is definitely a weird person like half of these things he said I can't tell if he's serious or not. As talented as he is, it's not a good thing supporting a designer like him and this is coming from the guy whose favorite Dior looks came from Galliano. And to add, he's also not a good fit for Margiela, nuh uh.

You have a point to an extent however, my perspective comes from the perspective of someone with self control. I’ve drank alcohol, I’ve just never been drunk because I drink very tiny amounts when I do drink alcohol and I drink maybe once every 6 months. He surrounded himself with destructive friends who influenced him to drink and do drugs. John galliano is an adult not a 13 year old kid. No one forced him to do drugs, no one forced him to drink. He made that choice and he has to live with the consequences of that. Why do we excuse bad behaviour because a fully grown adult has no self control anytime he does something everyone can be like “don’t blame him he’s an addict,” “it’s the alcohol,” “it’s the drugs.”

Boy was he drunk in that clip.

It's not that a secret but designers/artisans on the other hand is being put trough a vast amount of stress to pump out like several collections in a year with each one better from the previous not a theme that repeats and to cope with the energy required used cocaine and what other drugs not just getting intoxicated in alcohol which makes you tipsy. I had been a fan of Galliano his early works for Givenchy is sorta what lead me to the whole fashion industry now working as stylist and photographer. There's no denying that the guy has an insane amount of Talent and Creativity and it's been known that artists (Caravaggio (murderer), Picasso (sexual predator), Bernini (attempted murder) alike even from the past have manic outburst even far from worst than what he did not trying to justify it. but it happened... and we have to move on the issue he did moved on as well. he's doing so great with Margiela and am happy with him doing what he does best. but hate the sin not the sinner!!! we're not perfect we all make mistakes.

PS: his shows always excites me; totally respecting the house he's in but you can still see his flair for the grandiose yet restricted a controlled chaos where rawness transpose with the finesse.

He screwed himself royally!

Kind of appropriate such a swine should be CD at Margiela. I'm aware of some horrid things on the back end of that company and it doesn't surprise me that they're ok with harboring a bigot. Chanel too. I will never buy from either one, personally.
