Meet John Galliano’s long-time partner Alexis Roche, who’s styled Kendall Jenner

On August 31, New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and John Galliano announced in a joint statement that the exhibition John Galliano: Horizons – which was scheduled to open in May next year and would have provided the theme for the next Met Gala – has been cancelled in light of the 65-year-old designer’s past antisemitic remarks and subsequent conviction in France in 2011.

“I remain fully accountable for the pain caused by my words in the past, particularly the hurt I caused to the Jewish and Asian communities, and I remain deeply sorry for it,” Galliano stated, with Met trustee Anna Wintour calling his decision “very courageous and a measure of the man he is”.
