Solidarity….Stars band together against John Galliano.


Last week Israeli born actress Natalie Portman said she was “disgusted” by the remarks made by Galliano in his anti-Semitic rant in which he was arrested for. She said, “As an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr Galliano in any way.”

Galliano checked himself into The Meadows rehab in Arizona, after the meltdown at the Parisian Bar. The Daily Mail insinuated that Galliano’s obsession with his own Jewish roots played a major part to why he seems to have gone off the rails.

Dior has sacked him, and will be removed from the company as soon as possible. The Mail reported today that although Galliano is not is public favour, his designs were loved by the reviewers and fusionists at his collection.

However it is not only Natalie Portman who has publicly slammed Galliano, a model at the Paris townhouse in Avenue Foch showed off her Star of David tattoo at John Galliano’s show on Sunday. The model has not commented on the showing of the tattoo, but others have said that this it was a silent show of solidarity against Galliano’s anti-Semitism.

The designs were beautiful, and the critics have raved about them, but it is sad that Galliano who was known for his outlandish designs and statements that brought something new and fun to fashion will now be remembered by many as a racist.
