john galliano photographed by annie leibovitz for vanity fair, july 2013
in his first interview since his 2011 firing from dior, 52 year-old john galliano sat down for a series of wide-ranging conversations with contributing editor ingrid sischy. beyond his anti-semitic rant, which shattered the designer's career, galliano and sischy talked of the designer's young life, including beatings and childhood taunting; his fashion education and the development of his eye; and how being "a slave" to his success led him down a path of addiction. looking forward, sischy writes of galliano's future: "he has begun taking baby steps to re-enter the world of fashion. my prediction: get ready for his second act." read more of the preview here, available in full in the july 2013 issue.
i can't wait for him to come back. i know a lot of people can't forgive him but people make mistakes & do stupid things. he is such a talent & should not be discarded.
