Controversial designer John Galliano cancels Met exhibition after backlash

John Galliano has cancelled an upcoming major exhibition celebrating his work as a fashion designer after it prompted criticism due to his previous conviction for making antisemitic remarks. In 2011, a French court found the designer guilty of antisemitic and racist rants at a Parisian bar. He was also fired by Dior as creative director that same year after a video surfaced of him declaring a love for Hitler.
