Gangster Lore–Looking to the days of prohibition for the inspiration of his second outing for John Galliano, creative director Bill Gaytten honed in on characters, ranging from gangsters and the law establishment to American sports-stars. Empowered by the stigma of a gangster, the collection was off to a strong start with oversize silhouettes ushering in the double-breasted suit and fine coats of fur. Turning to references by J.C Leyendecker and Norman Rockwell, the baggy trousers of America’s infamous kingpins were closely followed by Gaytten’s notorious band of henchmen. Youthful, cold and belted in for a showdown with the law, the menacing were met with hues of army green, dressing the aviator jacket, a military jacket, complete with epaulettes and other heroic pieces. Caught in the middle of the two factions and bringing the show to a close were John Galliano’s sports heroes, revealing a polished evening wardrobe, sequined and generally more fitted.

10 Questions with John Galliano Creative Director Bill Gaytten
With Paris Fashion Week near a month away, new John Galliano creative director Billy Gaytten preps his second collection for the house, but not before answering a couple of questions for those who wonder, but who is Gaytten?
Did you always want to work in Fashion?
No. I went to UCL, to study architecture, I just got distracted when I moved up to London.
Describe your sense of humour.
Dry, sarcastic, very English humour I suppose, well, you need one working in fashion.
What inspires you about fashion?
The construction — I started as a machinist and then worked with John on the patterns and the shapes that constructed the DNA of Galliano. I love working on the fittings, the cut, drape, line of the form. It’s the architect of the clothing.

The eponymous label of John Galliano was launched in 1984, subsequently after the purchase of his entire graduate collection from Central St. Martins by London’s Browns boutique that very same year. Galliano is known for his grandeur persona and fantastical runway presentations which are never short of drama and imaginations. In 1995, Galliano was appointed as the creative director for Givenchy, becoming the first British designer at a French couture house. But less than two years later, Galliano made the move to Christian Dior, which he has since become synonymous with. His menswear collection, launched in 2004, is known for breaking gender codes, extravagant runway shows and eccentric designs that never fail to disappoint.
