Galliano Exits Met Gala Exhibit as Backlash Over Antisemitic Remarks Grows

John Galliano has withdrawn from the Met Gala exhibit ‘John Galliano: Horizons’ amid mounting backlash over past antisemitic remarks. In a joint decision with the Met, Galliano announced the exhibition would not take place at this time, with Met director Max Hollein and Vogue’s Anna Wintour expressing support for the move.

Met Gala 2027 Theme Sparks Debate: Galliano Retrospective Draws Scrutiny

The Met’s Costume Institute has announced the spring 2027 exhibition, “John Galliano: Horizons,” honoring the designer’s work across Dior, Givenchy, Margiela, and his label. While it celebrates his influence on fashion, the show also revisits Galliano’s 2011 antisemitic outbursts and two hate-crime convictions. Vogue’s Anna Wintour defends him, saying his career isn’t defined by a single moment, and curator Andrew Bolton says the exhibit will confront the controversies as part of Galliano’s broader story, making him the third living designer to be the exhibit focus.
