A Jewish fashion boss has insisted that John Galliano, who was found guilty of an antisemitic tirade in 2011, is ready to return to the world of fashion.
Mr Galliano was handed suspended fines totalling €6,000 (£5,200) after admitting to declaring his love for Hitler during a rant in Paris cafe in February 2011.
The charges led to his dismissal from Dior, but he has now been appointed creative director at Paris-based Maison Martin Margiela, part of the Italian OTB group.
And Armand Hadida, who founded L'Eclaireur and owns multiple boutiques in Paris, spoke of his confidence that the British designer had reformed: "The important thing is to know your mistakes and to learn to correct them, and I guarantee you that John Galliano has done that."
