That moment finally happened Monday afternoon in London. Gallianos Artisanal or couture collection debuted during London Collections: Men, and quickly eclipsed all other menswear shows thanks to the sheer anticipation of the designers triumphant return and the hashtag, #MargielaMonday, which allowed the world to watch as it all unfolded.SCROLL DOWN FOR PHOTOS Its been nearly four years since Gallianos infamous dismissal from Dior and many, including us, were uncertain if Galliano would ever design again after such a public and disgraceful meltdown. But hes back and delivered a 24-look collection that featured the type of over-the-top costumery weve come to expect from the 54-year-old designer -- coupled with Margielas signature crystal-encrusted masks. The show notes promised “a process of discovery, returning to ones roots: Piece by piece, deconstructing and constructing a new story for Margiela.” From the looks of things, thats exactly what audiences received. Reviews have been mixed, with some echoing WWDs sentiment that the collection fell short of the triumph so many were hoping for. However, Anna Wintour, one of Gallianos biggest and arguably most important supporters, couldnt disagree more. “It was brilliant,” Wintour told WWD. “What I loved was the mix: There was so much that we know and we love about John, but then he took the Margiela vocabulary and translated it in such an appealing and innovative way. I loved seeing all the toiles at the end where you can see all the work and the new embroidery.” The commentary on Gallianos return will definitely continue -- fingers crossed Cathy Horyn, legendary fashion critic who joined The Cut, will share her unfiltered views on the matter. In the meantime, heres a look at Gallianos Margiela debut. What do you think? He is back!
