John Galliano

[ 9 December 2007 ]

Questions & answers. Excerpted from The Little Black Book of Style, by Nina Garcia.

Q: Is too much really never enough?
A: Too much imagination? Too much fun? Too much excitement? Too much adventure? NO WAY! Enough is never enough & when you are tired of the routine you have to go seek adventure so that you never get enough — feed your mind, body & soul, & live life in a technicolour of imagination.

Q: What one item should be in every woman’s closet?
A: A lover — that something seductive to get them there!

Q: How many different cultures have affected your designs?
A: Styles, cultures, women from around the world are like different timbres of music — there is so much to dance to. You should never stand still.

Q: What do you find eternally stylish?
A: The great Dodie Rosenkrans — she has the eye, the style, & the imagination that makes her the Peggy Guggenheim of the fashion world, & I am honored to be a part of her collection!

Q: Who is the most stylish woman you know?
A: Kate Moss — always has been — always will be. She dresses for herself, for her mood, & that is what makes her WOW!

Q: What is glamour today?
A: Confidence, independence, not giving a damn, & going for it — glamour is luxury, quality, knowing your stuff & indulging your desires — in fashion, life & living.


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

    Oh, and this is off topic: Someone working at Domayne obviously read your post Embracing Your Inner Nerd — look at what was in their latest catalogue!

  9. John Galliano is coooool.
    I’m so glad he didn’t respond to the question on what should be in every woman’s wardrobe with something like jeans or a black dress. A lover is way better!

    <3 A · Dec 9, 04:47 PM · #
