Hamish Bowles and director Kevin Macdonald join the pod to discuss “High & Low – John Galliano,” and Chioma sits down with British Vogue writers Alex Kessler and Daniel Rodgers to recap their highlights from London Fashion Week.
Last month, all heads in the fashion world turned to Paris, where designer John Galliano debuted his spring 2024 Maison Margiela couture collection. It was a total spectacle, from the doll-faced makeup looks to the snatched silhouettes and corsetry . Theatricality in fashion was back, and so too, it seemed, was Galliano. In 2011, Galliano’s career as creative director of Dior abruptly came to an end after video footage came out of him making antisemitic and racist remarks at a cafe in Paris.
Hamish Bowles, a longtime friend of the designer’s and editor in chief of The World of Interiors , joined the podcast alongside the film’s director, Kevin Macdonald, to discuss Galliano’s legacy. For Macdonald, the project marked a first foray into fashion, and he talked about reconciling the lore he’d heard about this genius “enfant terrible” with the man he came to know through over 20 hours of interviews while filming the documentary.
