Fashion Designer Galliano fined $271,800
19. April 2007


John Galliano was ordered to pay 200K euros to photographer William Klein. Galliano used Klein’s “atmospheric imagery” in an advertising campaign.

“Klein’s giant versions of contact sheets showing a series of photographs, painted over in colored enamel to highlight particular images, were a popular feature of a recent exhibition at the Pompidou Centre in Paris.


The court of first instance in Paris said Klein’s “painted contacts” were a hallmark of his work and Galliano’s use of imagery was clearly illegal in the absence of authorization from the photographer”

Galliano will appeal the ruling

“John Galliano’s advertising campaign did not reproduce any original image of the artist, it can’t therefore be accused of be counterfeiting,” Galliano’s lawyer Michel-Paul Escaped said in a statement.
