John Galliano isn't my favorite designer. But his place in fashion history is difficult to ignore.
With the 2027 Met Gala set to spotlight his work, we're looking beyond the clothes to examine the complicated legacy of one of fashion's most influential—and controversial—designers.
In this episode of Fashion Pulse, we discuss Galliano's rise, his fall from Dior following his 2011 antisemitic and racist remarks, his return to fashion through Maison Margiela, and the decision to place his work at the center of the 2027 Met Gala.
But this isn't simply a conversation about John Galliano.
It's about creativity, accountability, reputation, rehabilitation, and who gets a second chance in fashion.
Can we recognize extraordinary creative work without forgetting the person behind it?
And who gets to decide when a designer has been forgiven—or when they deserve to be remembered?
Can fashion forgive John Galliano?
