Into The World Of Dior John Galliano

[A]

Perhaps because of the other side of the English channel, John Galliano chose the Rue D "Avron" of the street not far from the Montreuil flea market.

This area is different from other names.

The rich area of Paris is rich, unique and chaotic.

He was so honoured that his Majesty Queen Elizabeth S gave him the title of "the highest Sir".

The British civilization is evident in John Galliano. His smile, his spirit, and his special London accent are a tune with some London slums.

All of these meet the needs of one kind, which is born by John Galliano. He exercises himself in the multicultural atmosphere, and exercises himself in the "pluralistic fashion" of self integration. This is definitely a remembrance and respect for past life.

Mixed with characters, styles and times, he wants to prove his one thousand and one kinds of looks!

From the British aristocracy of the 30s horror film Dr. Jecyll and Mr. Hyde to the appearance of bad boy "bad boy" and the era of movie silent films, the "acting face" star Lon Chaney, John Galliano is a chameleon, among these intriguing characters, but he is not performing, he is alive.

This may be related to the Galliano gene and has a natural dual culture.

His father, John Joseph Galliano, was a drainage Drake, an Englishman from Italy, while her mother Anita Guillen was Spanish, crazy about costumes and flamenco dance.

At birth, he was named Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano, born in Gibraltar, Spain in November 28, 1960, with two older sisters.

From childhood, he was at the family table.

To a vagrant culture, energetic mother covered his face with talcum powder and rubbed some oil on his head, then placed him in the middle of the table, and ordered, "come on, Juan Carlos, jump up, jump up..."

When Galliano was a child, his family moved to Battersea, a slum in the south of London.

At that time, he was 6 years old, but he had already shown different tastes of things.

"I grew up in an immigrant area where Africans, Asians and Indians lived.

That place is an incredible vitality, like Brooklyn in New York.

For me, this place is a source of magical culture, enriching myself. "

That is to say, he is always restless. He needs to travel continuously, yearn for the edification of various cultures, and experience different colors. The fragrance and emotion of different places often make him faint.

In 1995, when Galliano was employed by Givenchy, he often returned to Liverpool and Manchester to wait for the unknown young people at the gate of the nightclub to find inspiration.

But can he go in and out as freely as he used to?

His face and his weird appearance were recognized as "pop stars". They were highly concerned and focused. He should live in the social circle of famous people.

"Great idol?

No, I am a member of the working class. I can not understand that those people always take a bit of fame as an excuse to break away from this era and live a solitary life.

I still want to walk along the street as before. I do not want the driver to follow me everywhere, to enter the public places at random, and to go to the secondhand goods market.

Well, I love life and enjoy life.

But there is a place I try not to go to, that is Saint Martin Central Academy of art and design in London.

Then he laughed.

He completed his studies in this famous school and won the first prize in his life in his graduation design assignment in 1983.

With the inspiration of the French Revolution, he used a large number of materials and frills, and used the design style which was beyond people's imagination, which greatly swept the prevailing trend.

This work made Galliano famous overnight and was displayed in the window by the famous Browns department store.

In the second year, he launched his own brand, Afghanistan Repudiates Western Ideals, which is also the theme of his personal debut. She used traditional technology, adopted Oriental style and fabric, and was filled with a sense of humor, like his elder sister, big Vivienne Westwood.

"Humor is something that can bring out humanity. In our present world, it is like a wall that can meet all kinds of difficulties."

Although Galliano's smile is so kind and gentle, people still feel his fiery passion, which is completely integrated into his design, permeated in every quarter's design ideas, and constantly developed and perfected into a system.

Some people say that he always carries the taste of provocation, but Galliano denies that he has such an attitude.

"Contrary to what people think of me, provocation never exists.

Very simple, there is a way to show and show my work, that is the fashion show.

Such a display is a response and excitement.

So how do people view his spring and summer in 2006?

What about it?

Who is wearing his design?

As Galliano expresses in its own brand, even if you are a dwarf or a giant, you are a fat person or a little thin person, a young person or an old man, a beautiful or alcoholic person.

In the eyes of Galliano, fashion is a kind of power that everyone can enjoy because "everyone is beautiful."

The release shows that some of the professionals here are terrified. They are more likely to associate the American Barnum circus in nineteenth Century, the American film Freaks in 30s and the freak of director Tod Browning.

But this is also a fashion expression. Galliano is a devout Catholic. He said, "on the contrary, I feel that they are wonderful. Every one of them is very happy to participate in this show, without any obscene and unhealthy things.

My idea is to show the future fashion, it is a fusion, is the integration of all kinds of human body and various styles.

There will be defamation in praise. Since his first fashion show in Paris in 1990, there are always different voices about his design.

But anyway, he got commercial success and media attention from his first fashion show.

His designs are always interesting, with all kinds of personages. There are sexy marquis in the eighteenth Century. They are wearing weird masks, wearing African fur plaits, wearing colorful fur coats, and wearing traditional corsets with extreme self expression.

As long as the models on the T platform change into Galliano's clothing, they can naturally give out a kind of conqueror's gaze and look up.

These pictures still remain in our impression, but for Galliano, this is a painful memory of 10 years.

In the past 10 years, Galliano lived in a house without friends.

Faced with these, he has spoken with one phrase: "when people drown, they must learn to swim."

Sometimes he is like the American Film Science freak "Frankenstein" in the 30s. In his own creation, little John invented the great Gaallino's fate.

"I created my own ghost, because I chose Paris, and I feel this international city in my way, and all kinds of doors open to me a little bit. I think this is not an accident, because I have always been confident that I will achieve my goal."

Yes, Galliano just wants to be Galliano. "To be what I am, I am happy and narcissistic. I love my world and love my brand."

Galliano is very keen, but self intoxication will inevitably feel a bit lost, but John Galliano deserves to be the best designer of the contemporary era, but also an excellent brand trader.

Since he was appointed artistic director of Dior in November 1999, he has been fully responsible for the design of women's clothing, and has made a very successful strategy to make celebrities wear Dior.

The image of R keeps rising.

Today, Dior is undoubtedly one of the most reported brands in the world, and Galliano himself has become a real fashion icon.

"We should all recognize the indisputable advantage of the brand, that is, the brand is tied up with its products and stars, thereby gaining a larger market.

But this is not my interest. On the contrary, I would like to make an official costume for those large concerts and awards ceremonies, but only for the design of several celebrities, because this is not a simple advertisement, it is a two-way choice. I have my concept in it, and also need some people to try it on.

This view contains a concept. As a designer, Galliano is also a key to help the brand to become famous. There is also a kind of "willingly" he has never separated from the design and the market. These two areas have always been regarded as "natural enemies".

But Galliano always embraced the practicality of design, but from the show of fashion show, we seem to have the opposite message, or this is our misunderstanding of Galliano.

In the past two years, Dior high fashion has always been profitable, for example, sales in 2004 were 594 million euros.

Some people think that Galliano is very tacit understanding with Sidney Toledano, President of Dior. He said, "Sidney Toledano is a great respect for me. He knows this industry very well, and there are links in production and marketing.

I can really communicate with him. If we disagree on a design idea, we can always find the best solution.

His response is fast and open, and he will recognize some mistakes in his evaluation.

The day of Galliano goes like this, almost counting by minutes.

He is running, a company on its own brand in Avron street. It used to be the production workshop of dolls. Now it has been built into a three floor "John Galliano Jazz factory" built by Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Another is Dior headquarters on Montaigne street. He admitted that such a life needs high intensity exercise to maintain it.

Galliano moved to Paris in 1993. His residence is located in Marais District, which is only two steps away from the Picasso Museum.

Today, at the age of 45, he still carries a kind of provocative behavior. He redefines what fashion is in his way.

"Today's fashion is to be yourself in any situation and to follow your own thoughts, just like your clothes."

Outwardly, the master is a little eccentric. He says he is not afraid of old age.

"I'd like to have a long white hair like an Indian old chieftain."

Then he burst out laughing, and there was a cunning look in his brow.

He is still a big boy in his bones. From childhood, he can explain why his appearance does not seem to be bound by any restrictions. This includes all his dreams, including his indulgence.

He can claim to be the sun king in the fashion world on the earth, but in his soul, he is a born tramp.

This contrast shows that he is a drug free romantic son. "Seeing the moon can fall down and sleep". What makes him run?

"My sports coach."

He made a final joke in a circle.
