Metropolitan Museum of Art cancels planned 2027 Met Gala exhibit on fashion designer John Galliano

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has cancelled a planned 2027 Met Gala exhibit featuring fashion designer John Galliano. This decision follows an uproar regarding offensive rants from 2010 and 2011, where Galliano made racist and antisemitic comments targeting Jewish and Asian people. These remarks previously led to his dismissal as creative director of Christian Dior and a conviction in a French antisemitism trial. Galliano has since apologized for the pain caused by his past tirades.
