Breaking the Rules: John Galliano
Paying homage to the mavericks that burst onto the scene in the last century, this is a fascinating look at the unique and influential style of British fashion.

Enter Vivienne Westwood's studio where she revisits the transgressive techniques behind her early collections that electrified the fashion world. Go backstage with John Galliano as he looks to London for inspiration: "It's unique. It's on the street. It's in the attitude". And discover why enfant terrible Alexander McQueen employs shock tactics in his spectacular catwalk shows.

With their revolutionary techniques, these fashion rebels were at the forefront of design innovation and are still causing a stir today.

Screens with the Christian Dior Haute-Couture Parade Autumn/Winter 2007/08 (35 mins, Courtesy: Dior) This extraordinary spectacle celebrated the 60th anniversary of the House of Dior and John Galliano's 10th year as head designer. Hollywood stars including Charlize Theron, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba watch on in adoration as stars of the supermodel era, including Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, strike poses in sumptuous evening gowns and 1940s style suits inspired by the works of painters ranging from Leonardo da Vinci to Pablo Picasso. A feast for the eyes!
