On Tuesday, Nov. 4, John Galliano, the creative director of Maison Martin Margiela, lost his unfair dismissal lawsuit against his two former employers: Christian Dior SA and John Galliano SA. Galliano was fired from Dior and his namesake label — both owned by LVMH — after his public, anti-Semitic and racist rant in Paris in 2011. Back in 2013, Galliano thought he was winning the suit after a French court ruled in his favor, moving the trial to a labor court instead of a commercial court. But according to "WWD," at a hearing Tuesday, the French labor court ruled against Galliano, who was asking both parties for damages from $3 million to $16.3 million. Galliano now owes each winning party one symbolic euro — approximately $1.26 — each because of the ruling.
