Disgraced designer John Galliano is not only coming back into fashion among the globe’s sartorial community — it appears that Jews are also reconsidering their view of him.
Galliano has kept a low profile since his was filmed in September 2011 telling two Jewish women in a Paris cafe: “I love Hitler. People like you would be dead today. Your… forefathers would be f*****g dead, f*****g gassed.”
Galliano was ejected from his job at Christian Dior and subsequently convicted for antisemitic remarks.
Over the past few months, however, Galliano has repeatedly apologised, said he is committed to making amends and met members of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to learn more about antisemitism.
ADL director Abraham Foxman said: “We believe that individuals can change their hearts and minds as long as they demonstrate true contrition.”
