In 1996, John Galliano was appointed chief designer of Christian Dior by the company owner, the LVMH luxury group. Galeano was first suspended and then fired in March 2011 due to an incident that took place in a Parisian cafe in which the designer, drunk, insulted a Jewish couple, making statements like “I love Hitler” or “People like you should be dead (…) all should have been gassed.” In 1998 purchased Gerbe Paris, a French manufacturer of hosiery ruined. It is one of the largest parts of the business empire of Bernard Arnault, who is one of the richest people in the world.
