John Galliano Is Leaving Maison Margiela!

This just in! John Galliano is exiting Maison Margiela, where he’s served as creative director since October 2014. The designer announced his departure on Instagram, stating that the role allowed him to reconnect to his creativity. Profuse thanks were also given to his team and muses, as well as Martin Margiela himself. As for Galliano’s next steps? He only stated: “When the time is right, all will be revealed,” and that “The rumors…everyone wants to know, and everyone wants to dream,” all but certainly hinting at recent gossip that he could be Chanel’s next creative director. We also wouldn’t mind him returning to Dior or taking over Gucci.
