John Galliano's London's prestigious St Martins College of Art & Design graduation collection, called 'Les Incroyables' ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLMztU8vBP0 ) and inspired by the French Revolution, met with immediate acclaim (Vogue's Spy column described Galliano as "a modish costumier, with a preference for romanticism and androgyny").
Lauched his own label in 1984, won the british Fasion Designer Award in 1987, and joined the international designers in 1990 with his ready to wear in Paris. Secured a contract with luxury conglomerate LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, and become the first British designer to head a French couture house in 1995, as chief designer at Givenchy, and a year later, Dior. His first couture show for Dior coincided with the label's 50th anniversary, 20 January 1997. This is the video to the biggest fashion history moment he created.
'Haute Couture' is the French word for the highest, most exclusive work a big fashion house such as Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta (House of Balmain), Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix, dresses and outfits are hand-made and made to the measures of the client. Not everyone are allowed to do a Haute Couture, every year the eligible haute couture houses are determined by a commission (the 'Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture') that meets at the Ministry of Industry.
