France Withdraws John Galliano’s Legion of Honor

Still, his path towards redemption just became a little more difficult to walk on because someone stole his shoes. More, uh, literally, French President François Hollande released a decree stripping the designer of his Legion of Honor award, which he’d been granted in 2010. How embarassing!

I don’t know what noble or gallant thing Galliano had originally done to deserve the medal, but surely he understands President Hollande’s reasoning: national honor awards and anti-Semitic rants make strange bedfellows these days.
