Designer John Galliano has been fired by Christian Dior, Women's Wear Daily reports.
Dior's president and CEO told the fashion newspaper, "I condemn most firmly the statements made by John Galliano which are a total contradiction with the essential values that have always been defended by the House of Christian Dior."
The designer worked for the fashion house since 1996. Dior's runway show is stills expected to be held in Paris on Friday.
