Over the past couple years, John Galliano has become famous for his actions. He exhibited racism and, regardless of his talent, was fired from Christian Dior. What he is planning to do now may surprise you.
Galliano is going to teach.
Parsons The New School for Design has hired him to teach a three-day master class. They say they chose Galliano because of his talents, and think the students will be able to learn a lot from him.
Parsons recognizes the controversy that follows him. However, they realize he has worked to make amends for his mistakes.
Since his racist comments, Galliano has apologized to the public and attended rehab for alcohol and drugs.
Undoubtedly, the students at Parsons have heard more about his comments then what he has done to amend it. Students could choose to enroll to his class because of that news coverage. It would be interesting to see the interactions between him and his students for those three days.
