Legendary British fashion designer John Galliano and New York's Metropolitian Museum of Art have decided to call off a planned exhibition set to launch next year's Met Gala.
The show was meant to celebrate and portray the highlights of the pioneering creator's career but the plans were immediately deried after they were announced last month because of Galliano's antiSemitic and racist tirade which forced him into the fashion wilderness.
On Monday, the museum said 'John Galliano: Horizons' would be replaced by an as yet unnamed show.
"Following thought discussions with John Galliano, we have together decided not to proceed with the exhibition," Max Hollein director and CEO of the museum announced in a statement.
Galliano also published the statement on Instagram adding "After much reflection and discussion with The Met and all those involved, I have decided, with great sadness, that it is best for the exhibition not to take place at this time.
