British Vogue Taps John Galliano as Guest Fashion Editor: Estranged fashion designer John Galliano was enlisted by British Vogue to guest edit a Kate Moss spread in its December issue that was inspired by "the Ballet Russe and Malcolm McLaren." Could this be another step in Galliano's fashion comeback? In January, the designer worked with Oscar de la Renta as a consultant on his Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Galliano also participated in a TV interview with Charlie Rose in June, which is now being turned into a puppet show about “fashion and power,” according to WWD. [Vogue UK]

The background wall in baby pink and girlish styling of the collection contrast with the actresses's seductive presence.” [WWD]
