Abstract

In March of 2011 the fashion world was shocked to learn one of their greatest talents had been suspended and then fired from one of the most coveted design positions available due to anti- Semitic comments uttered during a drunken tirade (Horyn, 2011). As the creative director of one of the world’s most well known fashion brands, Christian Dior, Galliano’s fall from grace was of interest to both industry insiders and the general public, alike.

Keywords: historic fashion houses, discourse analysis
