Ready at last. John Galliano's second Parisian store opened on 23rd September, marking the return of the fashion label owned by Christian Dior Couture to a retail expansion policy. The label has since 2011 been designed by Bill Gayten, John Galliano's former right-hand man, and has delicately morphed its brand image in the last few years. The Marais store's opening marks a new stage in Galliano's relaunch.

John Galliano's second directly owned store is located in Paris' Marais district, on the corner of rue des Archives and rue Sainte-Croix-de-la-Bretonnerie. The 130 m² shop adopts the look created with the renovation of the label's long-standing rue Saint-Honoré store, the work of Atelier Franck Durand, in association this time with architect Franklin Azzi.

Behind its Victorian-style façade, an allusion to John Galliano's London origins, the Marais store showcases the women's, men's and children's ready-to-wear lines, as well as the label's new range of accessories.
