Dior

Love Natelie from her days of "The Professional".

Her Dior advert looks simply gorgeous, alittle sad about the twist into latest's no-ad-campaign rule from her with the latest big commotion of Dior or rather dismissal of John Galliano.

If you haven't know yet:

On 25 February 2011, Dior announced that it had suspended Galliano following his arrest over an alleged anti-semitic assault in a Paris bar. 3 days later, British tabloid newspaper The Sun posted a video on their website showing Galliano in another incident at the same bar, hurling anti-semitic insults at a group of Italian women and declaring "I love Hitler... People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be fucking gassed." This incident happened just before Paris Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2011/2012. It remains unconfirmed whether or not the collections for Dior and his own label will debut.

Natalie Portman as Jewish actress whose great-grandparents were killed in Auschwitz, had an endorsement contract with Dior for its Miss Dior Cherie fragrance. In a statement, she expressed "disgust" at John Galliano's anti-semitic comments.

Portman said: “I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today...I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful.”

On 1 March 2011, Dior announced that it had begun procedures of dismissal for Galliano, with Dior's chief executive Sidney Toledano stating "I very firmly condemn what was said by John Galliano". The "maison" has taken steps to dismiss the operator after a video of a second incident emerged on the internet showing Galliano, visibly drunk, declaring "I love Hitler". After the incident Galliano's popular personal website was jammed and made unavailable for visitors.

What do you think?
