«An encyclopaedic chronicle of every show by expert auctioneer Kerry Taylor, who explores the intricate stories behind each collection.»
Vogue India
«A fascinating chronicle of Galliano’s singular career told through the lens of the collections ... a library essential, not just for anyone interested in fashion — shoppers, curators, collectors, educators, retailers — but also for those intrigued by the pleasures and perils of irrepressible creative genius. [Taylor] has written a captivating, research-driven monograph, collection by collection, with curatorial perfectionism, achieving what is quite possibly the first fashion catalogue raisonnée.»

«Kerry Taylor's fascinating and important book on Galliano belongs in everyone's fashion library.»
Valerie Steele, author of 'Pink' and Director and Chief Curator, the Museum at FIT, New York
«Kerry Taylor here offers us a treasure of a book. It shows us, through a series of truly beautiful colour images and intelligent text, the creative development of John Galliano from his graduation show at St. Martin’s in 1984 until his ‘Rehabilitation’ at Galliano and Martin Margiela in 2015. Asone of the world’s most professional, creative, free spirited fashion designers, Galliano spent fifteen years at the apex of the Paris couture industry – at the House of Dior. Here, he boldly twinned together imaginative ideas from world dress and past history, ideas put together magnificently by the salon’s atelier staff. This book reveals this unique story, step by step. It is indeed a treasure of a book.»
Lou Taylor, author of 'The Study of Dress History' and Professor Emerita, University of Brighton
«Compendious, compelling and visually stunning, this will become the standard reference on Galliano.»
Amy de la Haye, co-editor of 'London Couture' and Professor of Dress History and Curatorship, London
«The reference work for Galliano, documenting in meticulous detail the ready-to-wear and haute couture collections he’s designed over a 30-year period under his own label, for Givenchy, Dior and Maison Margiela. The careful and wonderfully informed detail in the description of each collection is what distinguishes it from the standard fashion designer monograph, and marks it as the work of a pre-eminent auctioneer and expert in surviving dress.»
Alistair O'Neill, author of 'London: After a Fashion' and Professor of Fashion History and Theory, C
