John Galliano is officially unemployed! Ouch!

First Dior and now his very own label!!!! The board for the John Galliano House decided to let him go after his video recorded drunken, antisemitic rant! From the top to the bottom, that is a long way to fall.
Mr. Galliano is creatively one of my favorite designers, so it is very sad to see this happen! But I have to admit at the same time that I am happy to see that there is a public backlash for this kind of behavior. What kind of a message would it send if he merely received a slap on the back of his hand?!?! Attention is being payed in the fashion world and I am glad it is acknowledging the seriousness of this kind of "conversation" in the 21st century.

Break my Heart! My favorite designer was just shown on CNN saying, "I love Hitler!" And reportedly managed to fit in quite a few racial slurs in this now public video taped conversation. I have heard at this time that Galliano was suspended, and then later heard that he was let go from his position as designer for Christian Dior. This is so upsetting! I am still waiting for the dramatic dust to settle in order to allow the truth to surface...will report with more at that time. But for now, I am sad to say, that it sounds like the house of Dior made a wise decision.

A Tribute to John Galliano

Born November 28th, 1960. His real name is Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano Guillen, otherwise known to the fashion world as simply John Galliano. He is currently the head designer of Christian Dior.
Quoted as saying, "My role is to seduce." And he is true to his word, as Mr. Galliano is one of the few designers that actually incorporates himself into his own fashion show. As most designers will shyly waive and walk across with a quick bow, John struts himself down the runway in seemingly impossible tight pants, seducing us all the entire way down with his devilish little grin. His entrance is grand, his runway debut is grand and his exit is grand and we will just say that his grand fashion creations....well, they never seem to disappoint! Mr. Galliano is a busy man with 6 couture and ready to wear collections to create a year, as he has his own label and creates for Dior. Mr. Galliano also has a rigorous exercise regime; he wakes at 6 am and completes a grueling 40 minutes of aerobics, before doing about 150 push-ups and then finishing up with a run. He seems to have enough energy and creative spunk for about 4 lifetimes, and lets just say that.....we will never complain! We salute you John!
