Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the first detailed guide to the work of one of fashion's greatest talents. Though the designer's otherwise glittering career has been punctured by years out of the limelight, his catalogue of work remains astonishing. Written by internationally renowned fashion expert Kerry Taylor, this beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched book looks in depth at John Galliano's collections from his 1984 graduate show at Saint Martins to his triumphant renaissance at Maison Margiela in 2015.
With never-before-seen images of rare designs from private couture archives, close ups revealing the intricacies of garments, and iconic runway shots showing the designer's most innovative creations in motion, this visually rich book examines his revolutionary designs in unprecedented depth. In addition, original interviews with the designer as well as the people who worked closely with him throughout his career shed new light on both the clothes and the context in which they were created. A must-have for fashion lovers, collectors and researchers alike, Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the ultimate overview of the work of a design genius.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
An encyclopaedic chronicle of every show by expert auctioneer Kerry Taylor, who explores the intricate stories behind each collection. * Vogue India * A fascinating chronicle of Galliano's singular career told through the lens of the collections ... a library essential, not just for anyone interested in fashion - shoppers, curators, collectors, educators, retailers - but also for those intrigued by the pleasures and perils of irrepressible creative genius. [Taylor] has written a captivating, research-driven monograph, collection by collection, with curatorial perfectionism, achieving what is quite possibly the first fashion catalogue raisonnee. * Introspective Magazine * Kerry Taylor's fascinating and important book on Galliano belongs in everyone's fashion library. * Valerie Steele, author of 'Pink' and Director and Chief Curator, the Museum at FIT, New York * Kerry Taylor here offers us a treasure of a book. It shows us, through a series of truly beautiful colour images and intelligent text, the creative development of John Galliano from his graduation show at St. Martin's in 1984 until his 'Rehabilitation' at Galliano and Martin Margiela in 2015. Asone of the world's most professional, creative, free spirited fashion designers, Galliano spent fifteen years at the apex of the Paris couture industry - at the House of Dior. Here, he boldly twinned together imaginative ideas from world dress and past history, ideas put together magnificently by the salon's atelier staff. This book reveals this unique story, step by step. It is indeed a treasure of a book. * Lou Taylor, author of 'The Study of Dress History' and Professor Emerita, University of Brighton * Compendious, compelling and visually stunning, this will become the standard reference on Galliano. * Amy de la Haye, co-editor of 'London Couture' and Professor of Dress History and Curatorship, London College of Fashion * The reference work for Galliano, documenting in meticulous detail the ready-to-wear and haute couture collections he's designed over a 30-year period under his own label, for Givenchy, Dior and Maison Margiela. The careful and wonderfully informed detail in the description of each collection is what distinguishes it from the standard fashion designer monograph, and marks it as the work of a pre-eminent auctioneer and expert in surviving dress. * Alistair O'Neill, author of 'London: After a Fashion' and Professor of Fashion History and Theory, Central Saint Martins *
