John Galliano has recently shocked the press and public with his extremely troubling anti-Semitic views. With video footage of his racist behavior in La Perle Bar, a Paris restaurant, the inappropriateness can easily be discerned. A quick cell phone video of a nearby individual has been the cause for the danger of Galliano losing his career. In addition of being subsequently arrested, he is bound to feel the threat of suffering from disownment from the public and clients. At 50 years old, he has obviously worked hard to create these connections with people in the fashion industry, and now risks losing all that he has achieved. Celebrity Natalie Portman has come forth with statements, challenging his views and announcing that she will no longer associate with him. She even switched her designer choice last minute for the Oscars, from Galliano to Rodarte. Christian Dior, his employer for 13 years, has also made the choice of firing him from the position of Fashion director for next week. These unmerciful decisions make one think about the impact one’s personal life has on their business life. Apparently in the fashion industry, personal and business lives are inseparable. Dior has an interesting position on this particular anti-Semitic situation. Christian Dior himself served as an army officer for a year until France’s surrender. As Yves Saint Laurent served as Dior’s successor after his death, he ironically served for France’s army during WW2. It then becomes easy for one to see why they fired him for his racial views on Jewish people. Continuing to deny any anti-Semitic behavior, John Galliano will remain in hot water while the possibility of his actions are scorned. Much like Charlie Sheen and Mel Gibson, statements in the press can end your career.
