At the age of six, Galliano moved with his parents to South London. His mother worked as a flamenco teacher and prided herself on the family’s appearance.

The two highly-connected power players helped re-introduce Galliano to the fashion world. They introduced Galliano to Portuguese fashion socialite who loaned him her house to host a fashion show. A few top models walked in his show free of charge. Galliano designed his entire collection from one bolt of fabric.

In 1995, he was appointed the head of design for Givenchy. Two years later he became the head of design for Christian Dior.
