John Galliano loses unfair dismissal case against Dior

“Always more work, always more obligations, always more pressure, a dangerous and pathological spiral, without control."

But the court dismissed his case, and he was ordered to pay Dior €1. It is not known whether Mr Galliano will appeal the decision.

In his 2010 antisemitic rant, Mr Galliano, who is now creative director of Maison Martin Margiela, was filmed telling the unnamed women: “People like you ought to be dead, your mothers, your forefathers would all be ****ing gassed. I love Hitler."

Mr Galliano was convicted in 2011 in a French court for making the antisemitic slurs and fired from his position as creative director at Christian Dior.

The incident is understood to have upset Dior chief executive Sidney Toledano, who is Jewish. Israeli actress Natalie Portman, who models the brand’s Miss Dior fragrance, condemned Mr Galliano after the video surfaced.
