Christian Dior: one more loss

April 16th, 2007

The French Christian Dior fashion house has hardly had time to go through the changes connected with Hedi Slimane`s leaving as there befell one more loss. This time – tragical. 38-years designer Steven Robinson – John Galjano’s right hand has suddenly died. He was for Galjano not only a trustee and a friend, but also an irreplaceable colleague without whom Dior collections would look completely different.
After graduating prestigious Epsom School of Art and Design in the age of 17, Robinson started to work with John Galjano as the trainee – assistant. Then they together went to Givenchy, and later – to Dior. Since then Robinson and Galjano always had worked together, and, although the first always remained in a shadow of the second, each collection was always created by them as equals.
«We will miss Steven very much. But we believe, that his energetics and enthusiasm will stay in our memory for ever», – the president of the French fashion house Sidney Toledano has told.
John Galjano was on vacation on Mauritius Island, but when he knew about the tragedy, he immediately returned to Paris. «Steven was my “anchor”, my best friend, the person without whom I cannot imagine my work. We went to success together, since the very first days. He was not a public person and did not search for glory, but he had skills to organize, join and manage our creative family. He will stay irreplaceable for me … », – the designer told.
