i give you the house of dior.
kudos to Dior CEO Sidney Toledano, who took to the runway to make a statement before the show. "It has been deeply painful to see the Dior name associated with the disgraceful statements attributed to its designer, however brilliant he may be," he said. "Such statements are intolerable because of our collective duty to never forget the Holocaust and its victims, and because of the respect for human dignity that is owed to each person and to all peoples."
and for the finale of the first dior show in 15 years without their lamboyant designer taking the bow, the entire design team emerged, clad in white lab coats.
all in all, a classy way to handle a sticky situation. and the clothes and bags weren't bad, either!
a.
ps...how are they still saying the comments he "allegedly" made? there is video, and it's not like there are a ton of people walking around in the world looking like johnny galliano. hmm...just saying.
