In a statement on Instagram, the fashion tycoon said he was saying “goodbye” to the French fashion house, leaving his next move up for debate stating, “The rumours… Everyone wants to know When the time is right, all will be revealed.” Galliano, 64, joined Margiela as creative director in 2014, three years after leaving Dior, and enjoyed huge success. Galliano also made headlines during awards season, when Miley Cyrus wore a gold safety pin Margiela dress to the 2024 Grammy Awards, when she won Best Pop Solo Performance for her track ‘Flowers’. An enduring example of Galliano’s impact is the revival of the infamous ‘Tabi’, the iconic Margiela shoe originally launched in 1988, which has become ubiquitous within Gen Z street style. Whilst Galliano’s next moves are currently unknown, his triumphant impact at Maison Margiela leaves fashion houses fighting for his favour.
