John Galliano Launches Re{form} Zara Collection During Paris Fashion Week

other · 2026-03-21

During Paris Fashion Week, John Galliano introduced his inaugural collaboration with Zara, named Re{form}. Set to launch on October 1, this marks his comeback to the fashion scene after departing from Maison Margiela in December 2024. This announcement follows the cancellation of the retrospective 'John Galliano: Horizons' at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was prompted by backlash over his 2011 anti-Semitic comments. After undergoing rehabilitation and issuing apologies, he re-entered the fashion world in 2014. The Re{form} collection showcases bias-cut dresses, trompe l'oeil layering, and historical influences, featuring millinery by Stephen Jones. It incorporates techniques like Re{form}ing and Deep Pockets, presented in a Marais installation during Paris Fashion Week and available worldwide from October 1. This marks the beginning of a two-year collaboration with Zara.
