(Reuters) - French fashion house Dior said on Tuesday it is firing John Galliano after complaints were lodged with police that their star designer made offensive and anti-Semitic comments.
Dior said it decided to start procedures to fire Galliano after seeing a video clip that purportedly shows the designer shouting abuse at people in a Paris bar.
"I very firmly condemn what was said by John Galliano, which totally contradicts the values which have always been defended by Christian Dior," Christian Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano said in a statement.

I think LVMH has made the right decision firing John Galliano considering the circumstances. It is sad and shocking how it came though and the fall of a fantastic designer that lately lost his spark and now his job.
What are your thoughts on this and the future of Dior ? Do you think it will lose some more of its appeal ? Do you think the aesthetics will change like many of the older fashion houses have such as Balmain, Balenciaga, Pucci, and many others ?
And the big question ...... who do you think will replace John ?
