Just when you thought you’d heard the end of it, it seems that there was one last blow to be dealt to John Galliano. WWD is reporting that the disgraced designer has been stripped of his title as Chevalier of the Legion of Honour, a designation he received in 2010. The orders came from President Francois Hollande, new in office since Galliano was first charged and convicted of racism after spouting Anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris café while Nicholas Sarkozy was in power.
While Galliano seemed on the mend as of late, out to lunch with Vogue editors Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington, this is sure to add another chapter in Galliano’s book of demise.
