Earlier this week it was announced that John Galliano would be teaching a three-day workshop entitled “Show Me Emotion” at New School University’s Parsons School of Design. The announcement has caused outrage by an anonymous group of students at Parsons, causing them to start a petition against Galliano at change.org. In 2011, Galliano was dismissed from his post at Dior for anti-Semitic remarks.
“This is a person who was fired from Dior for his anti-Semitic remarks, who Natalie Portman refused to work with because of his remarks, so why is Parsons The New School for Design hiring him?” the petition contends.
“[Parsons] plans to hire John Galliano for a 3-day workshop,” the petition continues, “It doesn’t matter if it’s for three months or three days, hiring someone who has made such horrific comments shows that the school values Galliano over their entire Jewish student body. It shows they value him over their students’ respect, peace of mind, and heritage.”
Parsons School of Design continues to stand by its decision of having Galliano teach the three-day workshop. “We believe that over the past two years Galliano has demonstrated a serious intent to make amends for his past actions, and as part of this workshop, 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,” reports a Parsons’ representative.
Early in the month rumors were dismissed that Galliano would hold a permanent teaching post at the prestigious Central Saint Martins in London.
