Dior kicks Galliano to the curb

[clevermanka]

I'm not sure if there are many fashionistas here. If there are, here's one designer you can mark off your Wardrobe Wish List. I know in the light of everything else usually posted here, this is fairly fluffy stuff. But it's nice to see a high-profile company doing something admirable that's probably going to lose them a lot of money

Can you add the anti-semitism tag?

[clevermanka]

Done! I was so tickled to find a tag for "fashion" that I'm afraid I didn't search for many other applicable ones. Oops.

It's okay. We have so many tags that it's easy to forget to look at all of them to see which applies.

"Today, because of the particularly odious nature of the behaviour and words of John Galliano in a video made public this Monday, the Christian Dior house has decided to lay him off immediately and has begun dismissal procedures against him," it said a statement.

I like hearing that -- absolutely no equivocation. I really hope they stick to their guns. There are some things that cross the line so much they deserve no equivocation.

[lightbird777]

Also, really side-eyeing that last paragraph.

Glad they did it. Dude needed to go. That Hitler remark was just awful.

That said. This dress will always be breathtaking.

God, it really is gorgeous. Quality of art =/= likelihood of being an ~good and noble human being~, however. I'm with you. I think I can stand by this being a really beautiful gown, and hating the bastard as much as anyone.

It certainly is stunning.

I'm not going to like him more because of the gorgeous gowns he made.
I'm not going to like the gorgeous gowns he made less because of what an asshole he is.

It's ok. It looks like a sloppy cross between a mermaid dress and a kimono.
