News surrounding John Galliano’s namesake presentation at Paris Fashion Week – which took place in Paris on Sunday – still hasn’t died down, with an image of one of his models sporting a Star of David tattoo (the symbol for Jewish identity) on her upper arm now making the headlines.
Although Galliano received rave reviews for his latest autumn/winter 2011 collection, the impact of his recent arrest for alleged anti-Semitic comments still looms over us – so it seems quite a statement for this young model to make in light of all that has happened.
Whether the appearance of this inked star was a sign of protest or a mere coincidence remains a mystery, but one thing’s for sure, it certainly added to the uneasy atmosphere of the show, reports Marie Claire.
And we couldn’t agree more.

I dont think it was fair to Galliano, the recorded part was only about what he said, which seemed as a reaction to something off camera. also he was drunk … what a loss for Dior..
How can you defend Galliano? It doesn’t matter if he was or was not reacting to something that happened off camera. He wasn’t reading cue cards to say “I love Hitler,” these were thoughts that came to him on his own regardless of what state he was in. It’s not a loss for Dior at all. They have gotten rid of an anti-Semitic and are now looking for another creative to come in and take control of the brand. Dior only has everything to gain and nothing to lose.
