"Hedi at Saint Laurent, Nicolas at Vuitton and now John at Margiela," he continued.
According the Page Six, the gig is Galliano's first official role with a brand since he was fired from Dior in 2011 for making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe. The British designer returned to fashion in 2013 with a temporary residency at Oscar de la Renta.
