Manhattan, NY – Convicted anti-Semitic designer, John Galliano, seemingly doubled-down on his hatred for the Jewish community yesterday as he took to the streets of Manhattan dressed like a Hasid.

The NEW YORK POST (http://bit.ly/XzQY87) is reporting that Galliano, allegedly on the way to attend an Oscar de la Renta Fashion Week event, emerged from a friend’s apartment wearing a traditional Hasidic long jacket, hat, and curly “peyos.”
Galliano’s public stunt has infuriated New York’s Jewish leaders.
“He’s trying to embarrass people in the Jewish community and make money [while] dressed like the people he has insulted,” said Williamsburg community leader Isaac Abraham. “It looks like the hairstyle he added was done purposely to insult.”
“Who’s he mocking?” asked Brooklyn Assemblyman Dov Hikind. “The way the socks look, the jacket, the peyos…My question is, who’s he laughing at?”
Galliano was cut loose by Christian Dior in 2011 over his appearance in a viral video in which he proclaims, “I love Hitler!” in a Paris cafe.
Galliano was subsequently convicted by a French court of making racist statements, which resulted in him being shunned by the fashion world.
It’s purim time come’on! btw, which sect id he dressed like gerrer? or perhaps the melachum? how about his purim torah? on what sigyu will he stand on, anyone knows?
who cares about this.
If his publicity stunt were to have the side benefit of introducing a new fashion awareness among NYC’s various chassidus who are generally not know for their sartorial splendor, this anti-semitic jerk will have inadvertently provided a net benefit to the tzibur.
OMG, why give him the attention….my father a”h said the following example over many times: When you pass a house with a fence and a big ferocious dog comes running at you barking loudly but is stopped by the fence, do you stoop on your hands and knees and bark back? NO! you keep walking and the dog stops his tirade because he sees he couldn’t get your attention”…same deal here.
He should be denied a visa as to not insult the American Jewish public. Let him keep his sorry face in his hometown or in Ramallah
Maybe its time for a good ol’ fashioned chaptz ’em? Is the Lee Ave overpass available for a customer?
The guy’s a lunatic. Ignore him.
Yet the ADL basically accepted his half hart’ed apology a few weeks ago… Now remind me why they have the right to accept apologies on behalf of the Jewish people????
His 15 minutes are so over.
This guy seems to have some mental issues, and should be watched as a danger to the community.
I think I saw him at the. 9:00 minyan for shacris at Muncoks this morning
Who? Never heard of him.
It seems to me that he is tarting his own style and is daclring himself as the Hobo Rebbe.
He looks like those off-the derech Hossids that roam around Times Square. I think the style goes on him. But you can’t really be frum if you can’t grow a beard.
So some goy hates us. What else is new? Much ado about nothin.
Which Chassidish sector is he in?
I think there is nothing wrong with it. Its thing that was blown out of proportion
