Widely recognized as one of the most influential fashion designers of our time, John Galliano reinvented the fashion industry and helped turn high- fashion from an elitist niche into a multi-billion-dollar global business. In 2011, Galliano’s career abruptly ended after being caught on video using shocking antisemitic and racist insults. The documentary 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.
