John Galliano to Teach Parsons Master Class
John Galliano, who was fired by Dior in 2011 after he was caught on camera making anti-Semitic remarks in a Paris cafe, will teach a master class, called "Show Me Emotion," to seniors at Parsons The New School For Design.
Parsons said the class "will be a dynamic and intimate opportunity for our students to learn from an immensely talented designer."
"We believe that over the past two years Galliano has demonstrated a serious intent to make amends for his past actions," the school added. Parsons students "will have the opportunity to engage in a frank conversation with Mr. Galliano about the challenges and complications of leading a design house in the 21st century."
Earlier this year, Galliano was invited to spend time working at Oscar de la Renta's studio in New York. At the time, de la Renta said, " I'm happy to give him the opportunity to reimmerse himself in the world of fashion and reacclimate in an environment where he has been so creative."
