Finally, John Galliano gets job offer

Los Angeles, May 16 (IANS) Designer John Galliano has been offered the role of a creative director of Russian perfume and cosmetics company L'Etoile.

Dior's former creative director was fired in 2011 when he was caught on camera making anti-Semitic slurs at a Paris cafe.

The designer is apparently due to start his new role, which includes working on their private-label cosmetics line, on May 22, reports contactmusic.com.

According to Russian media reports, L'Etoile is similar to high street beauty emporium Sephora.

Galliano has been out of a job since his fall from grace, which also saw him dismissed from his namesake label.

His good friend Oscar de la Renta offered him a chance at redemption in January 2013 with a three-week residency at his studio, working on his autumn-winter 2013 colleciton.
