John Galliano will be honored at the 2027 Met Gala when the Costume Insitutute opens a retrospective of his work — news the Met dropped bizarrely late on the last Friday of July. Amy called an emergency episode with Dana Thomas, Galliano's biographer and the author of Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano (https://amzn.to/4fV1szN), who has covered him since the start of his career. They get into why the announcement was buried on a Friday night, the 2011 scandal and criminal conviction that got Galliano fired from Dior, the apology his victim never received, Anna Wintour's 15-year campaign to rehabilitate him — and Amy's take on whether the Met should be doing this at all.
