Curator's Note

The bias cut is one of the defining techniques of John Galliano's career, present in his collections from 1989 and fully established as his hallmark by his spring/summer 1994 Princess Lucretia collection. Galliano drew directly on the bias-cut eveningwear of the 1920s and 1930s as a primary reference, and on the work of Madeleine Vionnet in particular, whose mastery of the diagonal grain he consistently cited as an influence.

John Galliano

John Galliano graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1984 with Les Incroyables, a collection drawn from the French Revolution bought in its entirety by Browns. He moved to Paris in the early 1990s, staging shows in borrowed hôtels particuliers that attracted Princess Diana, Madonna and LVMH, leading to appointments at Givenchy in 1995 and Christian Dior in 1996. Under his own label he ran concurrently with both houses, his work was shaped by romantic storytelling, bias-cut construction and historical characters drawn from across cultures and centuries. He was named British Designer of the Year four times.
