John Galliano Set for Teaching Post at Parsons The New School For Design

If you’ve ever watched Project Runway and dreamed of attending Parsons The New School for Design, then prepare to be even more jealous of those who do…

The latest teacher to grace the hallowed halls of the famous fashion school is none other than John Galliano. The British designer has slowly been making his move back in from fashion wilderness since his high profile fall from grace in early 2011, when he was arrested following an Anti-Semitic rant in a Parisian bar.

Following the incident, the designer was suspended from his job at Dior and kept a low profile until earlier this year, when he made his return to New York Fashion Week. 

Now, following much speculation, it has been confirmed that Galliano will teach a short-run course to senior BFA fashion design candidates at Parsons.

In a statement, Parsons said: "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."
