Watch Trailer For Fashion Doc High and Low: John Galliano

MUBI have released the official Trailer for High and Low: John Galliano. The gripping and thought-provoking new documentary from Scottish filmmaker Kevin McDonald on fashion designer John Galliano.

Showcasing archive footage of the haute couture and high-fashion runways of the period, and featuring extensive interviews with Galliano himself, alongside conversations with Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful and more, this nuanced look at Galliano confronts the toxic work culture behind-the-scenes of the fashion industry.

John Galliano was considered one of the most successful fashion designers ever. Once sitting at the top of the chain, only to fall with grace with his offensive insults.

Galliano dressed some of the most beautiful and prominent men and women in the world for almost 15 years at Givenchy and Dior, and was widely recognized as one of the most successful fashion designers of the 1990s and 2000s. However, his career abruptly ended when he was caught on camera in 2011 hurling antisemitic and racist insults at bystanders outside Paris’s Café La Perle.

Macdonald’s compelling documentary traces Galliano’s career from fashion student at Central Saint Martins to creative director of some of the world’s largest fashion houses, candidly investigating his struggles with addiction and the industry pressure he faced along the way.

High and Low: John Galliano will be released by MUBI in UK and Irish cinemas from 8th March. Just before then on 5th March, the film will screen at the Glasgow Film Festival [more info/book]/
