Juicy Revelations from John Galliano's First Post-Scandal Interview
Galliano felt that designing Kate Moss's wedding dress saved him:
“Creating Kate’s wedding dress saved me personally because it was my creative rehab. She dared me to be me again.” Moss describes the gown as “absolutely gorgeous, a diaphanous 1920s-type dress, romantic, with gold sequins in the shape of the phoenix—as if he was saying he would rise from this.” She tells Sischy that “when my dad gave his speech he thanked everyone and then he referred to the genius of Galliano, who made his daughter’s dress. Everyone stood up and gave John a standing ovation. It was the most moving thing, because suddenly John realized he wasn’t on his own.”
Galliano's story reads like a perfect--and sad--example of the ugly reality behind an incredibly glamorous facade. Our only question: who's going to make the movie?
