The End of an Era: John Galliano Exits Maison Margiela After 10 Years

John Galliano

John Galliano, the renowned British designer, recently announced his departure from Maison Margiela, closing a chapter that redefined the house of fashion and marked a personal renaissance in his career. The announcement, made through his social media, was accompanied by an emotional message in which Galliano expressed his gratitude to his team and highlighted the vital support Margiela provided during a pivotal moment in his life.

Since taking over as creative director in 2014, Galliano infused Maison Margiela with a blend of innovative theatricality and a profound respect for the brand’s minimalist heritage. His tenure redefined Margiela’s creative language with iconic creations such as the Tabi shoes, artisanal collections, and conceptual storytelling that captivated critics and fashion enthusiasts alike.

The Spring 2024 collection was Galliano’s final runway presentation for the house, a show brimming with haute couture and his signature style. This last collection encapsulated his lasting impact, leaving an indelible mark on Margiela’s DNA.

As the industry speculates about Galliano’s next steps, Maison Margiela has yet to announce his successor. This transition adds to a year marked by surprising changes across iconic fashion houses such as Chanel, Celine, Dries Van Noten, and Fendi, underscoring the ever-evolving nature of the luxury fashion world.

With his departure, Galliano closes a chapter of innovation and transformation while opening the door to new opportunities, both for himself and the legendary Maison Margiela.
