John "Eccentric" Galliano Fired From Dior

The "enfant terrible" of fashion just got fired from Dior, the high-fashion clothing brand he has been working for since 1997.

The fashion world became aware of Dior's decline in the middle 90's; it seemed the end of the French brand. The House of Dior needed a radical change, something different and innovative out of their usual classical style; and John Galliano was the answer. Since he got to the firm, Dior runway shows are the center of attention; the ones we cannot wait to see.

Even though the "Tim Burton of fashion" has been the major reason of Dior's golden age and current success, Dior's president and CEO decided to fire the designer because of a couple anti-Semitic comments he made and a video recorded at a Paris cafe where he says he loves Hitler. Obviously, those kind of comments are against the firm's essential values, and probably against the whole world's ideals so, in my point of view, his dismissal from the firm is completely fair.

I am not sure if this is the end of Galliano as a reference in the fashion world, but what I am sure about is that his extravaganze and unlimited creativity will never be forgotten. Mister Galliano is and will always be a genius.
