Carine Roitfeld: John Galliano

In 1994, John Galliano was named British Designer of the Year† and he went on to replace Hubert de Givenchy shortly afterwards. Of course Carine Roitfeld recognizes genius when she sees it and she styled the editorial "John Galliano" for the February 1994 issue of French Glamour to celebrate his most recent collection at the time. I applaud the juxtaposition of the pretty and the punk in the editorial which was photographed by Paolo Roversi. In Carine's words, "John Galliano: La Mode Comme un Roman — John Galliano, le plus style et le plus extrémiste des stylistes anglais, pirate les grands mythes de la mode avec une sophistication haute couture. Fidèlement adaptée du dernier défile, l'édifiante histoire de Thérésa, jeune aristocrate chassée de Russie par la révolution." or in English, "John Galliano: Fashion As a Romanesque — John Galliano, the highest and the most extreme style of the British designers, pirate of the great myths of fashion with an haute couture sophistication. Faithfully adapted from the last show, the edifying story of Teresa, a young aristocrat driven by the Russian revolution."

†John Galliano also won British Designer of the Year in 1987 and 1995.
