Widely recognized as one of the most influential and successful fashion designers of our time, Galliano dressed the most beautiful and famous women in the world for almost 15 years at Givenchy and Dior. He reinvented the fashion industry by transforming his runway shows into immersive fantasies and helped turn high-fashion from an elitist niche into a multi-billion-dollar global business. But in 2011, Galliano’s career abruptly ended after being caught on video using antisemitic and racist insults. Macdonald’s film investigates the multiple facets and contradictions of Galliano’s character and the context, including decades of industry pressure and drug and alcohol addiction, that surrounded his downfall and subsequent recovery. Through interviews with his closest friends and family, as well as well-known fashion figures, Macdonald unveils the designer’s search for redemption.
