Galliano For De La Renta: A More Permanent Role?
JOHN
GALLIANO is reportedly in talks with Oscar de la
Renta about a more permanent position. The designer completed a
three-week temporary residency at the fashion house prior to the
label's autumn/winter 2013-14 show.
Galliano's spokesperson, Liz Rosenberg, declined to comment on
the speculation - which first emerged on WWD. However, De
la Renta CEO Alex Bolen released the following statement: "As we
have said before, we are deeply impressed with John's talent and
would love to find a way to work with him in the future. To date,
we have not found that way."
De la Renta has "always worried" about what will happen to
his business when he does finally retire, but hiring Galliano as
his successor is not part of his plans yet.
"Am I retiring? Is John going to replace me?" he said in
January. "Certainly not. I hope to be around for a long
time."
Galliano made his big comeback earlier this year with
a candid interview in Vanity Fair, then in June
appearing on
American television show Charlie Rose - in which he
discussed the "very big breakdown" that led to his Dior dismissal
in March 2011.
