Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the first detailed guide to the work of one of fashion´s greatest talents. Though the designer´s otherwise glittering career has been punctured by years out of the limelight, his catalogue of work remains astonishing.

With never-before-seen images of rare designs from private couture archives, close ups revealing the intricacies of garments, and iconic runway shots showing the designer´s most innovative creations in motion, this visually rich book examines his revolutionary designs in unprecedented depth. In addition, original interviews with the designer as well as the people who worked closely with him throughout his career shed new light on both the clothes and the context in which they were created. A must-have for fashion lovers, collectors and researchers alike, Galliano: Spectacular Fashion is the ultimate overview of the work of a design genius.
