Welcome Back: John Galliano gets a little help from Oscar de la Renta

I must say I am positive about the change that just got the fashion industry talking MORE than we already do!   

Iconic fashion designer Oscar de la Renta {love him} is going to be lending his studio for the next few weeks to the ‘blacklisted’ fashion designer John Galliano. This is major being that Galliano was fired from his personal label and Dior. He made anti-Semitic comments to a few individuals at a cafe in Paris, two years ago.

Personally, I was sadden by John Galliano's actions, because he is a true artist {like, for real}. Though that does not excuse his actions. I knew he would come back...too much talent to sit on. Galliano spent some time in rehab for his alcohol addiction {which was a factor} and avoided the spotlight, though his name made headlines a couple times for some designs during those 2 years.

Everyone deserves a second chance.  He is a new man, so hopefully he takes advantage. I think this is big of Oscar de la Renta.  Galliano is working on his Fall ’13 collection…can’t wait to see his comeback…this will be good! #WelcomeBack

I have been waiting to get an update on the rumors of one of my favorite fashion designers, Marc Jacobs. According to fashionista.com, he has declined the offer to take over John Galliano's available position as head designer of Dior.

Let me fill you in briefly--over the top fashion designer, John Galliano, was fired from Dior, in reaction to his racial slurs toward two locals while at a spot in Paris.  It looks like they are stripping him of his career and forcing him to start from scratch. He was also fired from his own signature label, John Galliano.  This all took place at the beginning of the year.

After all of the madness, Marc Jacobs' name was in the forefront as a huge possible candidate to take on the job.  Not a bad idea, because he sure is more than qualified.

Though, who knows if this is set in stone, and it gets even more interesting.  Get the full scoop here!
