News of the day:John Galliano has been suspended as creative director of the Dior Maison.
News of what happened are confused and not confirmed. British fashion designer John Galliano has been suspended as creative director of Christian Dior after he was detained and accused of an anti-Semitic insult.Dior said it is suspending him pending an investigation into the incident in a Paris restaurant on Thursday night.The Paris prosecutor's office said a couple in the restaurant accused Galliano of anti-Semitic insults.A police official said Galliano and the couple also slapped each other. He said Galliano's blood alcohol levels were high.It's not clear if he's been taken in jail or not.His lawers denied the insults. As you can see the matter is complicated and delicate.
In my opionion we have to observe that economic justice seems to be harder than french one.In France the sentence for someone guilty of racist remarks is 6 months of jail and 22.500 euros in fine.Maison Dior, without waiting the result of the investigation, scared of sales decrease,declared Galliano guilty suspending him from his role during the fashion week.It's not clear if the Dior runway will take place as scheduled. I think they too quickly took the distance from a man who made the maison shine for 14 years.Maybe the Country will consider you innocent until proven guilty but don't expect the same treatment from the Money.

John Galliano è stato sospeso da direttore creativo di Dior perchè accusato di insulti razzisti.
Le modalità dell'accaduto non sono chiare e le notizie a riguardo sono contrastanti. Galliano avrebbe insultato con epiteti razzisti una coppia di ebrei.Non è chiaro se sia stato condotto in prigione e poi rilasciato pare comunque che il suo tasso alcolico nel sangue fosse alto.La coppia avrebbe sporto denuncia e un'indagine sarebbe in corso.Pare che i legali di Galliano abbiano smentito gli insulti.
Lo stato francese condanna il razzismo con una multa di 22 mila euro ed con la detenzione in carcere fino a 6 mesi.Se fosse giudicato colpevole questa sarebbe la pena a cui Galliano andrebbe incontro. Ma c'è qualcuno che già l'ha giudicato colpevole e condannato ed è proprio la Maison Dior che spaventata da un crollo delle vendite, l'ha sospeso da direttore creativo durante la settimana della moda. Non è chiaro se la sfilata Dior avrà luogo o no. Non vi sembra che abbiano preso le distanze troppo in fretta da un uomo che ha dato lustro al nome Dior negli ultimi 14 anni?Lo Stato potrà anche considerare innocenti gli accusati finchè non dichiarati colpevoli ma il Denaro no.
Che ne pensate?

No Galliano and an embarassing about face.
Hello
I'm a fench law student(and a big lover of your blog ;))
So i'm gonna explain you some point about Galliano's situation
In french law, like many other contries, you are innocent until you're found guilty. So Dior's decion is not good.
But because of frenche history,rascism is a verry hard accusation. That why Dior's made this decision.
I totally disagree with theme :
1/ Galliano was drunk, when you are drunk you are not considered as fully responsible of your acts (in french legal system
2/theire is no proof of what he said and if it was really anti-semitic or not (the judge will decide)
3/no judgment = he is still innocent
thanks for your professional explanation :)
This situation is a big mess.
I personally think that he made himself untenable and alcol is the biggest enemy he has to face.
He has some issues to resolve.
The sad thing is that he has been so easily fired as if a drunk night could erase an entire carreer.
