I think they should just give John Galliano his namesake company back and move on.

Oh my...when it rains, it pours! I do think what he said, on several occasions is despicable! But at least he has shown remorse, and trying to get his life in order, so this is not nice to hear. He is a talented designer, why not sell his name back to him then?!

while i agree with the action taken here to get these two companies back on some sort of sure footing (words should have consequences), i don't know what customer base exists that would at one moment have enough awareness of fashion to want john galliano merchandise but would enjoy wearing it or buying it without the design genius of the designer himself.

I believe Galliano deserved the removal from Dior, but I think firing him from his namesake line was a bad move. Imagine the comeback collection that could have been!

I mean I look at the situation and frankly I think the man's been punished enough. He was fired from an extremely prestigious, extremely lucrative job, has had his name tarnished (likely permanently), and is still facing the legal consequences, all the while dealing with substance abuse and the emotional turmoil that comes with trying to recover from it. This move really does seem almost cruel. I know there are people out there who don't think Galliano deserves sympathy, but I really do feel awful for him. I have no doubt that he's in far more pain than anybody, Jewish or otherwise, has felt as a result of his words, hateful as they were. Frankly this doesn't seem fair to me.

i'm sorry but i have no tolerance nor sympathy for what he's getting. he deserves everything coming his way. to say and do what he did,potentially speaks to a certain clientele and that reflects badly on his business and dior. above all,he said some pretty horrendous and grotesque things that should never,ever be uttered,especially by somebody in his position. good riddance i say. one less racist is fine by me. and you can say what you want but a lot of times,alcohol helps you say what you really feel.
and btw,if he really thought he would protected by his namesake,perhaps he shouldn't have sold shares. otherwise,he has no control over his position. |

If Galliano gets the appropriate help he should be forgiven. I can't think of a good reason why not. |

from a company stand point, him being fired from Dior and his own label was the right thing to do. Obviously not everyone agrees with it but at the end of the day he represents a giant company. |

if he was smart he would have secured the rights to his name years ago when the company was set up.
but he probably took an upfront fee instead. it was his decision. ![]()

Besides, you don't think it slightly unfair that because of one or two transgressions a man's entire life work (meaning his label, not Dior) should not only be taken away from him, but should be chopped up and sold for parts as well? If LVMH wanted no association with him that's one thing, but to throw away the house that he built and struggled to keep? That punishment seems a bit disproportionate to his crime, to me at least.
