Designer John Galliano has given his first TV interview with Charlie Rose. It’s the first interview since John Galliano was fired from Dior for an anti-Semitic outburst. The hour long interview can be seen online at CharlieRose.Com.
In the interview John states “I’m not an anti-semite, I am not a racist”.
In the candid interview John Galliano talks openly about addiction and the impact it’s had on his career. He has been working on his recovery and has been sober for 2 years and explains,”I will be in recovery for the rest of my life“.
Watch an excerpt of the interview here now and to see the full length interview go to CharlieRose.Com
he is, in my opinion, the Best Designer of our time.. it’s a shame. it’s a
shame he had no friends there to get him out of that situation, to help
him. It’s a shame how Dior threw him to the wolves to save their image
instead of backing him, because of the beautiful work he did for them for
so long bringing them back to center stage. He lost everything, even medals
that he earned… for a drunken mistake. Every single person has said
something horrible in our lifetime, we are just lucky no one was there to
film it. Dior’s own son made much more horrible comments, publicly
supporting the Nazi’s and they hush hush that right up. If he had worked
for me like that, bringing my business to center stage again, I would stand
behind him and apologize with him. How many times must someone keep
apologizing before we accept his apology? I’m a Christian and hear horrible
things all the time, no one even cares! But of course there is no
forgiveness in our society, it is so hypocritical.
get this poor man a job!
Look, Galliano needs to just work for someone else or take his own company
again and work hard to make it so great that Dior becomes obsolete and
dares because people are OK with kids in Israel dressing up like Klan
members and in black face for Purim yet that man can’t say that it was good
for Jews to be gassed. Miss me with that shit!
I luv Galliano. He is intense and has a soul.
What he did was cruel and wrong!
He needs to work on his demons.
I believe he will come back strong….an artist dreams for those who cannot and John is a dreamer, a true artist.
This is just too painful to watch.
Its like they lobotomized a genious. He used to be so grandiose so driven and creative… now he has to think twice before uttering a word, he’s like a lion in a cage. He used to be the king of the jungle.
What they did to this man psyque is unbelievable. torment genious, idolize idiots, this is a sad world.
John Galliano and Alexander Mcqueen the two geniuses who revolutionized the high-fashion industry and runway shows. This young generation of designers can’t compare, Gareth Pugh comes close.
he is sick !
@smrtmary well, i think there is no such thing as justice, at least not on this world. He will, however, and sadly be remembered as “the racist designer” in history, i imagine that’s why he decided to “clean” his image. People and history can be unforgiving, but i will always love him, he reinvented the word “creativity” for the fashion industry.
He’s a good man, believe me. Naive and trusting as a kid. His bosses treated him too cruelly, and I hope they will be punished someday.
I love the man. He’s a genius who went through a lot. We should to take care of such people, but we always kill them. We don’t appreciate talent, we are too violent, jealous and hypocritical. Any time, any world, people are always the same.
He might not be a good person, but to deny his genius is madness. If everyone was to be exposed I doubt there were any good people left in this world. Matter of fact, he did not kill anyone, and we cannot forget how he changed the fashion industry with his creative genius.
Boohoo you racist cunt!
I dont believe him! If it wasn´t because of the video, he would still be the f cken racist designing at Dior. My family suffered on the Holocaust, i dont think is fair to portrait him as a heroe.
The only people who say “Galliano shouldn’t get a break” better tell us how they are such purists. Everybody makes mistakes and addiction is a sick and powerful thing.
FREE GALLIANO!
Glad he’s back, life goes on.
I really enjoy the interview
after not see Galliano for some time ,he look fresh and rejuvenate, put at some point in the interview he was lost ,confuse,not sincere of how he fell, and almost talk to Charlie like a nobody his answer were not clear and blame the alcohol and drugs for his autodestructive behavior,put maybe his sorry for getting cough or not and probably is right about could been dead of overdose.One thing is clear that having to much power whit out balance can be lost .Good Luck G
Do you really believe him? He’s now trying to play the victim. My family suffered on the holocaust, I take his comments very personal, is not fair to put him as a hero, when clearly he would be the same racist if he wasn’t caught on video.
John Galliano is the greatest living fashion genius, he will direct Chanel after the resignation of Lagerfeld.
The uninformed people do not realize that what happened to John Galliano is just a vile conspiracy of LVMH.
He is a brilliant man, good and right. And without him, fashion is dead.
I love John Galliano today more than yesterday.
Vanity destroyed J. Galliano’s lips, just like vanity destroyed J. Galliano’s career (it was the question of his blonde hair color that sparked his Aryan/Hitler rant.)
I don’t appreciate Charlie Rose in this effort, as so many more people have been tried and convicted – even to death for things they ABSOLUTELY did NOT do.
Charlie, interview the wrongfully tried and convicted, not the vain addict regarding the self-inflicted.
the important thing is to grow and to understand better yourself and the real meaning of life as a human being, living on earth – John, you are a great artist and I always enjoy watching your dresses, your colours – the thoughts you express – you are such a beautiful person and many people know that, I wish you just to feel sure and beloved
We all make mistakes, and you have to forgive him, and learned the lesson, and not punished more
Todos nos equivocamos, ya hay que perdonarlo, ya aprendio la leccion, ya no lo castiguen mas
It’s incredible how low one can stoop just for attention. He must have had cold and indifferent parents as a child.
rock on man ! i am very proud of you ! you did not kill your self at list ! we are a survivor in this life we need to grow strong
So glad Galliano survived It was hard to watch all these years Thanks to those people who video’d him having a melt down they saved him in a way.
galiano is a fucking racist prick, cannot see why cr gave him a forum
I dread the idea of ever speaking with Charlie Rose but he’s the best in what he does.
