John Galliano in court for racist tirade


Haute couture’s bad boy John Galliano will stand before a French judge Wednesday to answer to charges of anti-Semitic hate speech. Dropped by Dior, the British designer is expected to blame drug and alcohol addiction.

Around 100 French and foreign journalists, as well as hordes of fashionistas and celebrity news hounds, are expected to gather outside a Paris court on Wednesday, when British designer John Galliano will stand before a judge to answer to charges of launching an anti-semitic tirade in a trendy Parisian bar. Many will be searching the face of haute couture’s bad boy for signs of remorse and improved health after three months of detox, while others will be waiting to hear if he makes a public apology.
