Curator's Note
This jacket is from John Galliano's "Renée" Autumn/Winter 2005-06 collection. The collection was built around Renée Perle, a muse Galliano had referenced before, cast here as the star of an imagined silent film; the show was staged as a recreated 1930s film set, with models in period-inspired makeup and finger-curled hair. Tailoring throughout took a masculine silhouette, paired elsewhere with fluid bias-cut dresses. This jacket Is made of blue satin densely embroidered in old gold scrollwork, with a mink collar, in keeping with the fur trims used across several pieces in the show.

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.
