Three years after his excommunication from Christian Dior, John Galliano returns to the forefront as Creative Director of Maison Martin Margiela.

“Margiela is ready for a new charismatic creative soul,” said Renzo Rosso, president of OTB, in a statement. “John Galliano is one of the greatest, undisputed talents of all time. A unique, exceptional couturier for a Maison that always challenged and innovated the world of fashion. I look forward to his return to create that fashion dream that only he can create, and wish him to here find his new home.”

The British designer is expected to show his first designs for Maison Martin Margiela in January during Paris Couture Week. What do you think of? Are you happy that the designer is being offered a second chance?
