Disgraced designer John Galliano is returning to fashion

After his infamous anti-Semitic rant in 2011 went public, celebrated fashion designer John Galliano left Christian Dior in disgrace. Now, three years later, he's returning to the fashion industry, joining Paris house Maison Martin Margiela as its creative director.

Galliano was booted from Dior after he was caught drunkenly hurling anti-Semitic remarks at a couple at a Paris bar. A court fined him $8,400 for "anti-Semitic behavior." Galliano later apologized for the incident and said he was an alcoholic.
