The flamboyant, Gibraltarian fashion designer who makes Freddie Mercury look like a rabbi, Marc Jacobs look like a high school principal, and makes Vivienne Westwood's designs look like nun garb. The petite, Paris-based designer whose personal style borrows liberally from a gothic pirate style, no doubt embraces his inner diva, which is why we're not surprised to see Galliano namedrop Maria Callas in a Proust Questionnaire with Corriere's ~Lady~ supplement, "Io Donna".
When the designer was asked to name his favorite singer, he mentioned la Callas, which only makes us wistful that Galliano and Callas weren't contemporaries -- because we'd possibly throw our favorite stuffed teddy bear off a Venetian balcony (like Angelina Jolie just did in Venice) to have seen Callas in one of Galliano's gowns.
