Journalism

Wall Street Journal

Gallagher writes for the Wall Street Journal "Off Duty" section on a variety of subjects related to fashion.

He was interviewed by the New York Stock Exchange to provide insight into the IPO of Birkenstock. [3] His reporting has also taken him to cover the rise of the cowboy hat in Republican fashion surrounding the Trump 2024 Campaign, [4] and the boom in t-shirts depicting Trump raising his fist after the failed attempted assassination just days after its occurrence. [5]

The Men's Fashion Book

The Men's Fashion Book was published in 2021 by Phaidon Press. [2]

Although the book is encyclopaedic in nature, the style and approach of the book has been praised by critics: "the method used by Gallagher starts from the relationship between the individual and the fashion object within a social context". [6]
