Now creative director of Maison Margiela, John Galliano started his
career in London in the late 1980s, straight after graduating from
Central Saint Martins. After being appointed head designer of
Christian Dior in 1996, Galliano continued to create two
collections a year for his namesake brand. They acted in many ways
as a laboratory of ideas, allowing him to let his imagination run
wild, free from both the commercial pressures associated with a
house as iconic and as global as Dior and the influence of the
hallowed house's iconic pieces - a pure expression of his personal
design style. Opening with an essay on the designer's work, John
Galliano: Unseen unfolds chronologically. Thirty collections are
included, each introduced by a short text by Claire Wilcox,
revisiting the designer's most iconic creations and revealing
previously unseen behind-the-scenes moments that capture models,
hairdressers, stylists, makeup artists and John Galliano himself at
their most creative. Robert Fairer's stunning and high-energy
photographs capture the glamour and frenzy that defined Galliano's
shows. A treasure-trove of inspiration, they make this publication
a must-have reference for fashion and photography lovers alike.

A striking, sumptuous portfolio of catwalk and behind-the-scene
images of John Galliano's highly creative collections for his
eponymous label John Galliano's (b. 1960) ascent in the world of
fashion design was swift and filled with acclaim for his bold,
quick-witted sensibility and his theatrical flair. He became head
designer for Givenchy in 1995, and then for Christian Dior in 1996,
and directed his own fashion label between 1996 and 2011. He was
named Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards four
times. Currently creative director of the Paris-based fashion house
Maison Margiela, Galliano has fascinated the fashion world with his
often outrageous and whimsical creations, including some of the
most memorable collections of the 20th century: from the iconic
Suzie Sphinx collection to luxurious and edgy reinventions of
Chinese, Peruvian, Yemeni, or Mongolian costumes. Unfolding
chronologically with short texts by fashion expert Claire Wilcox
introducing each collection, John Galliano: Unseen captures the
designer's mesmerizing creations for his eponymous label (including
rich and idiosyncratic details) and the intense backstage work of
Galliano's trusted collaborators. Robert Fairer's long stint as
backstage photographer for Vogue gives him a unique perspective,
and his exquisite photographs of Galliano's collections, many of
which are published here for the first time, offer insights into
the extravagance and playfulness of one of the world's most
flamboyant, innovative, and controversial fashion designers at the
zenith of his career.
