Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the first detailed guide to the work of one of fashion's greatest talents. Though the designer's otherwise glittering career has been punctured by years out of the limelight, his catalogue of work remains astonishing. Written by internationally renowned fashion expert Kerry Taylor, this beautifully illustrated and meticulously researched book looks in depth at John Galliano's collections from his 1984 graduate show at Saint Martins to his triumphant renaissance at Maison Margiela in 2015.

With never-before-seen images of rare designs from private couture archives, close ups revealing the intricacies of garments, and iconic runway shots showing the designer's most innovative creations in motion, this visually rich book examines his revolutionary designs in unprecedented depth. In addition, original interviews with the designer as well as the people who worked closely with him throughout his career shed new light on both the clothes and the context in which they were created. A must-have for fashion lovers, collectors and researchers alike, Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the ultimate overview of the work of a design genius.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Kerry Taylor's fascinating and important book on Galliano belongs in everyone's fashion library.” ―Valerie Steele, author of 'Pink' and Director and Chief Curator, the Museum at FIT, New York

“Kerry Taylor here offers us a treasure of a book. It shows us, through a series of truly beautiful colour images and intelligent text, the creative development of John Galliano from his graduation show at St. Martin's in 1984 until his 'Rehabilitation' at Galliano and Martin Margiela in 2015. Asone of the world's most professional, creative, free spirited fashion designers, Galliano spent fifteen years at the apex of the Paris couture industry – at the House of Dior. Here, he boldly twinned together imaginative ideas from world dress and past history, ideas put together magnificently by the salon's atelier staff. This book reveals this unique story, step by step. It is indeed a treasure of a book.” ―Lou Taylor, author of 'The Study of Dress History' and Professor Emerita, University of Brighton

“Compendious, compelling and visually stunning, this will become the standard reference on Galliano.” ―Amy de la Haye, co-editor of 'London Couture' and Professor of Dress History and Curatorship, London College of Fashion

“The reference work for Galliano, documenting in meticulous detail the ready-to-wear and haute couture collections he's designed over a 30-year period under his own label, for Givenchy, Dior and Maison Margiela. The careful and wonderfully informed detail in the description of each collection is what distinguishes it from the standard fashion designer monograph, and marks it as the work of a pre-eminent auctioneer and expert in surviving dress.” ―Alistair O'Neill, author of 'London: After a Fashion' and Professor of Fashion History and Theory, Central Saint Martins

5.0 out of 5 stars The definite , instructive guide on JOHN GALLIANO
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2019

This book is not perfect . And the art direction of the book leaves much to be desired given the SUPERLATIVE beauty of the work of the designer featured . It doesn’t feel like any lavish coffee table fashion tome from the likes of Assouline or Phaidon or Taschen neither . In fact : it feels like a text book .A text book for an exquisite class on the EXQUISITE complete works of fashion designer JOHN GALLIANO . Because in fact, what this book lacks in form it MORE THAN MAKES FOR in CONTENT . It’s simply the absolute BEST curated and explained compendium on the whole works(to the point it was publish at least )of Galliano. From his early crude but exhilarating first namesake collections. Through his Haute rise and even Hauter fall at Dior ;and to his Phoenix like resurrection ,after a brief hiatus , at MAISON Margiela . Every little detail you didn’t know you wanted to know about the works. Chronologically showcased in an unpretentious , easy to read and see format . The amount of “insider intel” the author had access to and shared with the reader is astounding . Along with some( however not ever enough ) pictures of some rare findings and enigmatic pieces seen only on the whiff of the runway , for a few seconds to an intimate crowd. Im sort of an expert on Galliano myself (there is a JARRING mistake on the picture naming Linda Evangelista on the DIOR spring 1998, when in fact the model shown is Greta Cavazzoni ) and I still found bits and details I haven’t seen before . This is a gem of a book for any true fashion lover and a must have for us all admirers of this most individual of talents and creative force . Can’t recommend owning it enough !...

I collect fashion books, this one is my least favorite. I have seen some of the gowns photographed in the book in person and it definitely did not do any justice. It’s a flip through it once and never look at it again.
