• John Galliano: “This is a credit, not a creative, crisis. Our clients still want fashion, still want to be inspired. My role, now more than ever, is to dress their desires. Right now fashion should be a morale booster, escapist, excellent and constant. Now is the time to invest in luxury, quality and excellence.” [WWD]
