Headline: John Galliano withdraws from 2027 Met Gala amid backlash
Caption: In late July, officials at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that Galliano would be the third living fashion designer to be honoured with a retrospective Costume Institute exhibition, following Yves Saint Laurent and Rei Kawakubo.To accompany the John Galliano: Horizons exhibit, the Met Gala theme was set to recognise the former Dior and Givenchy designer too. The news sparked uproar online due to Galliano's past antisemitic remarks, and on Monday, both Galliano and Max Hollein, the museum's director and CEO, announced the exhibition would no longer go ahead.
