The iconic British designer, John Galliano, has announced he will be stepping down as creative director of Maison Margiela, marking the end of a revolutionary chapter for the brand. Galliano, who joined the house in 2014, has redefined Margiela’s visual language with his theatrical vision and meticulous attention to detail.
