Galliano Teams Up With Stephen Fry

John Galliano is confirmed to be creating the stage costumes for Stephen Fry's new stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde's famous comedy, The Importance Of Being Earnest.

Rumours of the union first surfaced in July when Roland Mouret and Sarah Burton were also thought to be in the running, but Galliano is now said to be working on the costumes ahead of the play's opening next year. Fry will direct the production as well as playing the role of Lady Bracknell in the play, which is being produced by David Pugh and Dafydd Rogers - producers of Calendar Girls and The Full Monty.

Galliano is well practiced for the role though, and has even dressed the character of Lady Bracknell before - in 1982 at the National Theatre, when it was played by Judi Dench.

The former Christian Dior designer is also still in talks to assume a more permanent role at Oscar de la Renta, he told WWD, with De la Renta stating that the two still email one another weekly.
