Galliano gets the kick from Dior

John Galliano, famed fashion designer and now former creative director for fashion house DIOR, has been sacked from his position after being embroiled in a scandal after alleged footage of the 50- year-old making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris Bar surfaced last week Thursday.

Police reported that they had been called to La Perle, a trendy bar in the Marais district where they encountered an intoxicated Galliano delivering a torrent of racist and anti-Semitic abuse to a couple on the bar’s terrace. 

Galliano was subsequently suspended by DIOR on Friday, with the scandal reaching further heights when a video surfaced on Monday on the website of Britain’s Sun tabloid.The video depicts the flamboyant designers saying " I love Hiter. People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed."

Galliano has denied he used anti-Semitic language and threatened to sue his accusers, but it seems the video was the last straw for DIOR whose brand image was in jeopardy. The fashion house described the behaviour of its chief designer as "particularly odious" and said he would be dismissed from his high-profile job in short order.

It has been rumoured that Oscar-winner Natalie Portman, who is the new face of perfume Miss Dior, was alleged to have been planning to wear DIOR at the recent Academy Awards but decided against it following his alleged comments, particularly given the star's Jewish heritage.

In reply to the scandal Portman issued the following response:

"I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."

Interestingly, Sex and the City stylist Patricia Field has come out to defend John Galliano's "I love Hitler" video, saying it was all "farce". She told WDD:

"People in fashion all they do is go and see John Galliano theater every season. That’s what he gives them. To me, this was the same except it wasn’t in a theater or in a movie. John lives in theater. It’s theater. It’s farce. But people in fashion don’t recognize the farce in it. All of a sudden they don’t know him. But it’s OK when it’s Mel Brooks The Producers singing "Springtime for Hitler"…Fashion people who know him have not come forward. They know his theater. Believe me — my name is Field — my stepfather was Jewish."
