[Trigger warning for anti-Semitism, racism.]
Speaking of execrable anti-Semitic tirades from despicable shits, John Galliano has been fired from Dior after unleashing an anti-Semitic and anti-Asian rant last week and then being caught on camera espousing his love for Hitler.
This, of course, is the same asshole whose 2000 collection was "inspired by the homeless," featuring "coats exquisitely tailored with broken stitches, contrasted with soaring romantic evening gowns shown in a rose garden in the Bois de Boulogne," and whose 2005 collection, for which he used models of all different shapes, sizes, and ages, was widely lauded as "courageous," but read to me more as a creatively threadbare project by an undergraduate art student obsessed with the Victorian freakshow.
I don't generally regard appropriating marginalized people's struggles and bodies to sell high-priced consumables as "genius," but, then again, I don't have a sense of humor either.
Again: Priorities.
