John Galliano is celebrated for his ingenious approach to fashion. He is a fantasist, inspired by historical dress and by myth. He studied in London at Central Saint Martins, and now has his own label, but is also the designer for Christian Dior. This interpretation of the suit reveals his ability to manipulate cloth into unusual shapes.
