Galliano Booted From His Own Label

JohGallianoSpring2011 Galliano Booted From His Own Label

Despite having the empathy of most of his peers in the design community, things keep getting worse for disgraced designer John Galliano, who has been fired from his job as head of the John Galliano label, 91 percent of which is owned by Christain Dior.

According to a WWD article, there are some companies who have expressed interest in purchasing the label, including some of its licensing partners. However, it is looking like at the moment no effort has been made to put the John Galliano label on the block and supposedly the in-house design team continues to produce and a pre-Spring collection is in the works, which, how weird will that be sans Galliano? And given that he was fired basically for being the poster child for anti-Semitism is there any hope of rehabilitating a label named after him?

The image above was taken at the Spring 2011 runway show for John Galliano. By the time of his Autumn 2011 show in early March, the axe had fallen and Galliano was absent from a salon presentation of what would be his final collection for the label. Via Style.

Tom Ford Unisex Scent Ad Campaign

TomFordPortofino1 Tom Ford Unisex Scent Ad Campaign

Tom Ford has released the print campaign for a unisex scent (plus shower gel, bath soap, etc.) called Neroli Portofino. We spotted this at Fashioncopious, where the ad is viewed as a bit cheap. We can’t say we’re over the moon for it either, but we see this as more of an ongoing theme of Ford being somewhat stuck in the style themes of his salad days with Gucci. That being said, we see this as a normal part of the process of reentering the game–even when you’re one of the great ones–you stumble a bit, but stay undeterred and focused and eventually you hit your stride.
