Why Fashion Still Needs Galliano
- 15 September 2013

GALLIANO is sorely missed by the fashion industry, legendary
founder of Browns, Joan
Burstein said today. Mrs B has joined the cries of industry
luminaries for the former Christian Dior designer to
return."The industry does need him back," Burstein said. "It's not been the same since he's been exiled… He epitomises the escapist fantasy that fashion is all about. And it's that we need so desperately. I'd welcome him back to Browns with open arms and I think others should too."
Burstein also reminisced about her favourite memory of Galliano - other than his show debut - that she felt typified his nature.
"My other most cherished memory is when he travelled to London for the first time on the Eurostar," she wrote for Stylist magazine. "'I couldn't believe it,' he told me. 'We were in a tunnel, we came out and we were in England! It was amazing!' That's how he was - wonderfully naïve with a beautiful capacity for wonderment. That person still remains. And if we have to do without him for much longer, it would be a real tragedy."
