Art Wrapped in Controversy: Why John Galliano Is the Next Met Gala's Theme

The Met just announced its next Costume Institute exhibition, and it's built entirely around John Galliano, the designer fired from Dior in 2011 after a video showed him praising Hitler. "John Galliano: Horizons" makes him only the third living designer ever honored this way by the Met. But the announcement didn't come easily. Anna Wintour, Galliano, and curator Andrew Bolton reportedly spent the past year meeting privately with rabbis and Jewish leaders in New York, including a closed-door session in May, to talk through concerns before going public. See what those leaders had to say, and why some are calling this the Met's most divisive theme yet.
