Designer John Galliano leaves Maison Margiela after 10 years
John Galliano is stepping down as creative director of Maison Margiela after 10 years. In a post, he thanked the brand for a "safe space" to create and grow. His final collection, Artisanal 2024, was a hit, featuring broken marionette looks and porcelain makeup. Galliano's journey includes a redemption story following his anti-Semitic remarks in 2011, and under his leadership, Margiela's sales soared by 23% in 2023.
