………………………..John Galliano followed Ferre……………….John was the most outrageous and fantastical of all the Dior designers. He had an imagination gone wild!…..Was it Dior?…that was questionable, but at this time in fashion it was his extreme imagination that everyone talked about, and that’s what the owners wanted…..to be talked about….His clothes were gorgeous, maybe less wearable than the others, but in COUTURE a designer must be extreme and create controversy, and TALK……..However, there is good press and bad press……Even though his collections were highly praised and photographed by every major magazine….and was THE FASHION DARLING…..nothing could save John from what was ahead…….On a drunken evening out at a famous Parisian restaurant John made loud anti-Semitic remarks, and made such a scene that the news was all over Paris by daybreak and in every newspaper around the world…….He basically committed career suicide. He was fired from Dior, and disappeared for a few years…..One stupid drunken night was all it took to end a career…..He is working again, but has never reached the heights and the potential he had. I don’t think he ever will……..people don’t forget……and many will never forgive…….A truly sad end to a brilliant singular career.
