John Galliano chief designer for Christian Dior was fired from the fashion house yesterday for his racist rant that was recorded by a Paris couple. This incident sent shock waves through the fashion world. Fashion designers and even actresses that admired John Galliano's work were in disbelief of this. But the video that was seen spoke for itself. Galliano goes off in an apparent drunken rage and states "I love Adolf Hitler". This is a true disappointment in fashion and for this era because it is a set back for how far we have come on the journey against racism. I believe that Galliano is a great designer but he shoud be punished for his actions. This is not an issue shouldn't be taken lightly. Galliano will face trial where he can face up to six months if prosecuted. Because of Galliano's actions the career that he has worked impressingly hard to build could possibly destroyed by a one minute video of disgrace.
