John Galliano Fired
Updated Tuesday 1 March 3.38pm: Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman said of Galliano's dismissal this afternoon: "I think John Galliano made a terrible mistake and such offensive behaviour could not be ignored. It is all the same true that he has a huge talent and has contributed enormously to the resurrection of the house of Dior. Who can predict what the future will bring?"
Updated Tuesday 1 March 2.41pm: Christian Dior has fired John Galliano as creative director of the house. "I unequivocally condemn the statements made by John Galliano, which are in total contradiction to the longstanding core values of Christian Dior," Sidney Toledano, Dior's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement today. The house confirmed that the "odious behaviour" exhibited by Galliano in the video released yesterday was the last straw resulting in his dismissal.
