Widely recognized as one of the most influential and successful fashion designers of our time, John Galliano dressed the most beautiful and influential men and women in the world for almost 15 years at Givenchy and Dior.

In 2011, his career abruptly ended after he was captured on video using shocking, abusive, antisemitic and racist insults. Director Kevin Macdonald investigates the multiple facets and contradictions of John Galliano’s character, and the decades of industry pressure and drug and alcohol addiction that surrounded his downfall.

Featuring conversations with Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Anna Wintour, Edward Enninful, Boris Cyrulnik, Hamish Bowles and Sidney Toledano, among others, High & Low: John Galliano explores culpability, cancellation and questions who society ‘cancels’ and who gets granted a second chance.
