In 2011, John Galliano was fired as creative director at Christian Dior and subsequent shunned by the fashion industry after making anti-Semitic comments in a Parisian café.

As depicted in the following footage, Galliano was actually caught on camera declaring his love for Adolf Hitler.

The troubled designer has made few appearances since that incident, but he was just named creative director of Maison Martin Margiela and he has at least one well-known celebrity very much in his corner:

Mr. Kim Kardashian himself!

 

"JOHN GALLIANO is the new creative director of MARGIELA, I heard this rumor when I was in Paris and just received confirmation this morning!" Kanye West Tweeted this morning, later adding:

"It is very exciting to see what powerful creatives do at different houses… Heidi at Saint Laurent, Nicolas at Vuitton and now John at Margiela."

Kardashian has donned Margiela for numerous high-profile occasions. The brand is famous for its slimming body suits, which Kim likes to pair with a sharp tuxedo jacket. She sometimes tucks them into a pencil skirt as well.

After watching Kendall Jenner walk the Balmain runway during Paris Fashion Week on September 25, in fact, Kardashian attended an after-party in a nude Margiela body suit.

Which is all well and good, of course.

But does this mean the company should hire someone who loves Hitler?
