Galliano Found Guilty Filed under ( Dior, found guilty, john Galliano, trial )

Since Feb we have been following the case of ex Dior designer John Galliano (full story click here), and Today we find out he has been found guilty of making anti-semitic and racist comments.

Galliano charges according to Elle, 'Galliano was issued a €4,000 suspended fine (only payable if he fails to comply with court orders) and instructed to pay a symbolic euro to two plaintiffs for the February 24 incident. He was also fined €2,000 suspended, for a separate event in October 2010. The sentence did not carry any jail time".

Galliano must be pleased with the No jail time (which in my opinion would be way to harsh and unneccessary), he would've faced a maximum charge of 6 months in jail and 22,500euros in fines. Luckily his prosecutors were lenient and made him pay upto 6000euros.

Considering Galliano state at the time apparently he was heading for a breakdown, Galliano admits "After every creative high I would crash, and the alcohol would help me to escape". Who knows what could've happened to him, he should see this as a blessing in disguise.

We hope Galliano continues rehab and leads a stable future in fashion, such a shame if he doesn't continue designing. A great talent would be missed!

John Galliano With Kate Moss & The Wedding Dress Filed under ( john Galliano, Kate Moss, Wedding Dress )

Kate Moss has stood by her friend designer John Galliano through the good and bad. Even though Galliano was going through a scandel and rehab he still had time to design Moss's dream wedding dress, which in my opinion was so classic and beautiful it fitted Moss like a glove.

Could The Rumours Be True? Marc Jacobs For Dior Filed under ( celine, john Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Phoebe Philo, replacement Dior )

Rumours have been speculating that Marc Jacobs might be the replacement for John Galliano at Dior.

Vogue UK reports

Since Galliano left Dior there has been that question mark who will take over? The person who does replace Galliano has to have the same creative, edgy, artistic talent to make Dior the way it was. If it were to be Marc Jacobs he could most probably carry on that theatrical feel to Dior.

But what will happen to Louis Vuitton, if Jacobs leaves LV as head of designer? Phoebe Philo, Celine's creative director could replace him as well as continuing her role in Celine.

Do you feel Marc Jacobs would be the best replacement for Galliano? If the rumours are true, Dior might change abit but I still feel Jacobs would continue that imaginative, dramatic theme Dior has. Well I hope so!

John Galliano Replaced By Bill Gaytten Filed under ( Bill Gaytten, john Galliano, replacement )

Since John Galliano dismissal from Christian Dior and own label John Galliano, there has been much speculation as who will replace Galliano as creative director at Dior and Galliano.

It has been reported by Vogue UK via WWD, that Bill Gaytten will be the replacement at 'John Galliano'. Gaytten is no stranger to working with Galliano, for 23 years he worked on both John Galliano and Dior label as part of the design team.

Gaytten reported "It's the same job for me; I've been doing it for a long time, (The menswear show) was a bit different because John wasn't there. I'm dying to know what he thinks!" LVMH

Galliano is back in rehab since facing his trial last week, and will know the verdict in Septemeber. I hope Galliano comes back to his own label! Best of luck to Bill Gaytten.
