John Galliano FIRED from Dior: UPDATE With Video

Welp it is the end of an era. According to The Wall Street Journal  Dior is proceeding forward with axing John Galiiano as creative director of Dior.

PARIS—Christian Dior launched a dismissal procedure against John Galliano, its star designer, as the iconic French fashion house moves to distance itself from anti-Semitic statements he allegedly made.

French police have been investigating Mr. Galliano's actions. Making anti-Semitic remarks is illegal in France, and can bring up to six months in prison.

On Tuesday, Dior said it had launched the procedure to fire Mr. Galliano because of the "odious behavior and comments" displayed by the designer in a video that circulated widely on the Web Monday.

I have no words for this besides pure disgust. Prejudice people simply hate themselves and are just in denial about it. In order to soothe their own self hatred, they let it manifest itself into other people when in reality it is a projection of their own feelings about themselves. The fashion industry has its faults believe me, but its good to hear that there are design houses out there that have a no tolerance rule against such actions. I only hope that this is a lesson for Mr. Galliano and he is able to take accountability for his actions and work towards helping himself.
