2. Read an exclusive interview with one of fashion’s most extraordinary talents, John Galliano, who opens up to Alexander Fury about his vision for Maison Margiela. “It would just be too easy to have the boys wearing girls and the girls wearing boys,” he says. “That’s not what it is today. Find your own masculinity. Find your own femme. Define it yourself. And that’s what they’re doing today, and I’m so there.” In the accompanying shoot, Ethan James Green and Ellie Grace Cumming capture the genderless glamour of his A/W18 collection.
