The comeback of John Galliano in 7 facts

For three years he sat on the bench (also somewhat deserved because John Galliano had apparently descended to a certain level due to alcohol and drug use) but last night he was allowed to nestle against the bosom of mother fashion again. His first show for Maison Martin Margiela was presented. Conclusion from Tim Blanks of Style.com; It’s his Maison now.

1. There was only room for 100 people. Mainly friends and the most influential fashion journalists were allowed to take a seat on one of the folding chairs.
2. There was only one Dutch model; Maartje Verhoef, who else? Cécile Narinx from the Dutch press was present. Fiona Hering also had a ticket but due to the passing of Frans Molenaar, she had to cancel her flight and joined RTL Boulevard. This despite the great historical value of the show. Sometimes one has to make choices.
3. Van de Nederlandse pers was Cécile Narinx aanwezig. Fiona Hering had ook een kaart maar vanwege het overlijden van Frans Molenaar moest ze haar vlucht afzeggen en schoof ze aan bij RTL Boulevard. Dit ondanks de grote historische waarde van de show. Soms moet een mens keuzes maken.
4. During the show, tweets rained down with the words: Love, love, love. That Galliano mixed the heritage of Maison Martin Margiela (lots of black and white, unfinished seams, and love for the classic white shirt) with his theatrical style was the most mentioned plus point.
5. In the designs, we saw beads, masks, and black toy cars that served as decoration.
6. For a little couture dress by Galliano for Maison Martin Margiela, you should think of around €50,000. No joke.
7. John Galliano, known for his over-the-top stage appearances, received the applause now with all humility. Nothing exposed above the waist. Just dressed in a white lab coat. Write that down on your things to buy list.

 Welcome back, John. You were missed.
