In Vino Veritas

Galliano’s racist rant on video.
Natalie Portman, for good reasons (she is Jewish), said she was “deeply shocked and disgusted“.
Others would like to look the other way. Giorgio Armani, in Milan, said the episode must have been due to “a moment of weakness”. “You can’t expect exemplary behavior from an eccentric man like him,” he added.

From a recent editorial in Haaretz:
At a time when the “struggle against anti-Semitism” has been expanded and exploited as a means of defending Israel’s policies, it is convenient to believe that any genuine hatred of Jews – at least among those who are educated and influential – is strictly confined to the dustbin of history. Yet a number of recent incidents involving well-known figures prove once again that prejudicial views continue to fester underneath the surface.

Copy and paste this to see clip – can’t seem to work normally.

Sacha Baron Cohen had warned us all of the “abandon” of much of the fashion world with the Austrian fashionista Brüno.
