I love following Cathy Horyn on Twitter so much that I even have her tweets sent to my cell phone as texts. Every morning the reoccurring beeps sounding from my cell wake me up to a quick Fashion Week update, and then I'll go back to sleep grudgingly.
However, this morning a look of horror appeared on my face as I read these two consecutive messages:
"CathyHorynNYT: French news agencies report that John Galliano was briefly detained last night by Paris police alleged anti-semetic remarks to a couple."
"CathyHorynNYT: Dior has suspended Galliano pending the conclusion of an investigation."
According to both The Cut and Daily News, Galliano was sitting outside in a cafe in the Marais district in Paris when the altercation occurred, and his blood alcohol level was just above the limit.
What incredibly surprising is how quickly Dior suspended the designer, especially since Paris Fashion Week starts next Monday.
"Dior affirms with the utmost conviction its policy of zero tolerance towards any antisemitic or racist words or behaviour," Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano said in a statement to Reuters."Pending the results of the inquiry, Christian Dior has suspended John Galliano from his responsibilities," the statement added.However, sources say that the 50-year old designer was arrested and then escorted back to his home, and no charges were pressed against him.
What do you think? Did Dior do the right thing a mere week before Fashion Week?
