DIOR says...JOHN GALLIANO, YOU'RE FIRED!

Last Thursday 24th Febrary Dior designer John Galliano went for a drink in “La Perle” a bar situated in the city of Paris. There were some people sitting in the table next to him. The man who filmed this video said that the 50-year-old designer was there alone and really drunk. Otherwise, in the video can only be heard some ladies’ voices discussing completely horrified John Galliano’s arguments. At first, everything was alright. It was a common night, in a common place. However, the conversation turned evil when the British designer declared his love to Hitler and started talking to the people who were sitting next to him like this: "People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed." After this, ladies became completely surprised for those anti-Semitic comments. Unfortunately, he didn’t stop right there. When one of the girls said “Have you got any problem?” He also added: "With you. You're ugly." Following, when another lady asked him “Where are you from?” he just answered: “You’re a**hole”.

This trouble happened on Thursday 24th February. However, on Saturday, another woman ledged a complaint for similar behaviour back in October, so it wasn’t the first time the designer said so racist comments.

Consequently, fashion house Dior took steps to this disgusting behaviour. They make it easier and said that their decision would be beneficial to each one. They said that the reason why they fired Galliano on Tuesday was designer John Galliano and the fashion house have different points of view on their job. Many people consider this fact a positive change. John Galliano had been artistic director of Dior’s industry for almost eleven years. So, it was a great opportunity to redefine the fashion house’s style. Galliano had a theatrical style and it wasn’t Dior’s liking recently.

Now, house Dior main intention is create a subtler and refined elegance which better reflects post-economic crisis of the society. Nevertheless, Dior industry cannot reveal the identity of Galliano’s successor yet because negotiations with all the parties involved take time. Even though, rumours say that Riccardo Tisci, who has won praise for his work at Givenchy, could fill John Galliano’s place. Tisci has a special gift and he’s very creative as well. He has the ability to play with colours, especially with black ones. He has done wonderful things so, he probably he would be capable of interpreting Dior's universe. Furthermore, it’s important to remember he has revitalised Givenchy since 2005 with his dark, romantic and slightly melancholic designs.

However, those are just rumours and no one knows for certain who is going to be John Galliano’s predecessor.

Galliano has recently apologized for his improperly behaviour. Nevertheless, apologizes aren’t enough when he has insulted so many people in so many ways. As a proof of this indignation actress Natalie Portman, who should have been dressed with a Galliano’s design inspired in her prize-winner movie “Black Swan”, rejected any association with John Galliano and chose another design label. Finally, she chose a purple dress designed by Rodarte. She’s pregnant but she looked gorgeous with her lovely purple dress.

In my opinion it’s a story with a moral ending, don’t you think? Who could ever imagine that a simple (and completely arrogant) gesture can completely change one person’s life overnight?
