John Galliano entered a detoxification center in Arizona, United States, in 2011. He was accused of directing anti-Semitic insults at a group of women at a restaurant in Paris.

The episode earned him a fine of around 6,000 euros and his position as creative director at Dior. In January 2024, his Haute Couture collection for the French house caused sartorial hysteria. With the support of Anna Wintour, of whom she facilitated a collaboration with Oscar de la Renta in 2013, the Gibraltarian's career was on the rise again.
