PARIS -
"Today is the day I say goodbye to Maison Margiela," he wrote in a long Instagram post paying tribute to the Italian fashion mogul and owner of the brand, Mr Renzo Rosso.
"The greatest, most precious gift he (Rosso) gave me was the opportunity to once again find my creative voice when I had become voiceless," Galliano, 64, added.
He took the reins at Maison Margiela after being fired in 2011 from his job as creative director of Dior following a drunken rant in a Paris bar where he hurled anti-Semitic and racist insults at fellow drinkers.
One of the most celebrated names of his generation - famed for his flamboyant personality and daring designs - Galliano denied being anti-Semitic, but admitted during a court case that he was addicted to sleeping pills, alcohol and painkillers.
