John Galliano 'The Ludic Games' spencer jacket & oversized shirt pair, fw 1985
By John Galliano
Located in Melbourne, AU
A John Galliano spencer jacket and oversized shirt pair, fall-winter 1985 'The Ludic Games'. These incredibly rare and early garments, worn together, are from Galliano's first runway show—his third collection. The collection inspired by Angela Carter’s 1984 novel, Nights at the Circus, juxtaposed London’s East End costermongers with rebellious farmers from the English countryside.
The spencer jacket is cut bust-length and wide over the shoulders, designed by Galliano to be worn inside out and upside down. Made from navy jumbo needlecord it features Galliano’s signature broad, irregularly-notched lapels and elongated sleeves—a staple in his designs from this era. The definitive feature of this jacket however, are the two hanging wine corks wrapped in twine, used as a decorative fastener. On the backside, a striped flannelette fabric is used, symbolising the image of a country mother taking her children to school whilst still in her pyjamas.
The oversized shirt was a main feature of this collection, worn on its own as well as underneath the spencer jackets. This particular shirt is made of flannelette in two tones, light blue and beige. It features an asymmetrical design with the placket turning diagonally three buttons down at the waist. Seams at the backside of the garment also follow this direction creating a triangular pointed pocket on the left hip. This technique was reused in skirts for Galliano’s first collection at Christian Dior in 1997.
Both garments feature the iconic Galliano '1' label only found in garments from this period. Due to their rarity, pieces featuring this label are often only found in museum collections.

John Galliano FW-2004 Wool Mix Fitted Officer Tweed Jacket
By John Galliano
Located in Brussels, BE
Fusing the world of Haute Couture with the rigorous appeal of uniforms is a Galliano leitmotif, who made anything remotely utilitarian totally chic and sophisticated. This soft tweed jacket is no exception, with its cropped volume and cute front pockets. Its fabric references 1950s Couture and ladylike tweed suits, another Parisian tradition the British designer loved to subvert.
