High & Low - John Galliano

Organised by MOViE MOViE

World-renowned designer and creative director John Galliano has made a distinctive name in the fashion industry, working with global brands such as Givenchy, Dior, and Maison Margiela. A force to be reckoned with in the 1990s, Galliano set the standard like no other, winning awards and even the French Legion of Honor. However, after Galliano’s media fiasco in 2010 and 2011, his respectable reputation as one of the fashion industry’s most significant figures plummeted.

Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald’s documentary traces Galliano’s career, highlighting what it means to fall from grace while raising fundamental questions about public figures dealing with invasive scrutiny from the public. Can one be forgiven by a society that uses “cancel culture” to halt opportunity? Should “canceled” individuals get a second shot at their careers? Featuring Galliano himself, the film offers audiences the chance to hear Galliano’s side of his story.
