After John Galliano's departure from Margiela: What's next for the fashion industry's most controversial dreamer?

John Galliano is many things, but subtle has never been one of them. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the designer's exit from Maison Margiela, after a decade at the helm of the OTB-owned fashion house, has reverberated through the fashion industry – despite deafening rumours of his imminent departure recently. Nonetheless, Galliano took it upon himself to go out with a bang, in this case, a two-page letter akin to a novella, which he published on the social media platform Instagram shortly after the brand confirmed his departure in a shared statement on Wednesday evening.
