Rachel Zoe upset with Galliano’s racist remarks

London, March 11 (IANS) Fashion stylist Rachel Zoe, who has been good friends with former Christian Dior designer John Galliano, says she was disappointed by his racist remarks.
“It’s a little insane and super-sad. Anti-Semitism, racism or any prejudice is not something I tolerate. I’ve fired clients because they were anti-Semitic, or anti-everything, except what they were,” she told Hollywood Reporter.
“I’ve known John Galliano and his boyfriend for years. I don’t know enough about it to make a clear statement, but if it’s true, it’s tragic,” she added.
Zoe, who has styled Nicole Richie, Kate Hudson and Demi Moore, admits she has always been desperate to work in fashion but is uncomfortable with the fame that comes with it, reports contactmusic.com.
“I worked 20-something hours a day, seven days a week. I was completely obsessed with fashion and spent all my money flying to Paris to go to couture because that was the dream. I crashed shows, stood in line for Marc Jacobs. Designers were my heroes and my celebrities. It hasn’t really worn off.
“A stylist is a behind-the-scenes job. I’m never a star when I’m with a star - ever. Back then, I was very insecure about that. Even now, if you watch me on a red carpet, I’m physically uncomfortable. I can’t strike a good pose to save my life. Fortunately and unfortunately, it’s a part of brand-building. It’s just part of my job,” Zoe added.
