John Galliano returns to fashion at Oscar de la Renta. This was announced today. The designer was sacked at Christian Dior after his antisemitic outbursts at a Parisian cafe in March 2011. He is expected to unveil his new collection at New York fashion week in Febuary 2013.

“I am grateful to Oscar beyond words for inviting me to spend time with him in the familiar surroundings of a design studio,” Galliano said. “His support and faith in me is humbling.”

British Vogue’s editor Alexandra Shulman offered her support for Galliano’s return. “Oscar de la Renta is the king of uptown style and John Galliano the prince of romantic glamour, so it should be a magical match,” she said. “I am delighted John’s returning to fashion.”

Welcome back John Galliano.
