John Galliano to teach a master class at Parsons The New School for Design
John Galliano is continuing his path back to the fashion world with a stop at Parsons The New School for Design in New York.
The college said Monday that Galliano will teach a master class that will address the "challenges and complications" of leading a design house.
Parsons said the spring workshop will give students the opportunity to have a "frank conversation" with the designer.
Galliano was creative director at Christian Dior when he was fired in 2011 for an anti-Semitic rant, which is a crime in France. He's currently involved in a lawsuit against his former employer.
He began a temporary artist residency at the studio of Oscar de la Renta in New York earlier this year.
The Parsons statement said Galliano has tried to make amends for his behavior.
Per Lucky magazine, the full statement reads: "An invaluable part of a Parsons education is the opportunity to learn from the world's leading designers, from Donna Karan and Diane Von Furstenberg to Olivier Theyskens. The planned master class with John Galliano will be a dynamic and intimate opportunity for our students to learn from an immensely talented designer. We believe that over the past two years Galliano has demonstrated a serious intent to make amends for his past actions, and as part of this workshop, Parsons students will have the opportunity to engage in a frank conversation with Mr. Galliano about the challenges and complications of leading a design house in the 21st century."
