The once-disgraced designer returns to fashion… school, that is.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"John<\/a><\/p>\n

Students at\u00a0Parsons The New School for Design<\/a> in New York will be taught by John Galliano in a special masterclass called SHOW ME EMOTION<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an email to Parsons students published by Dis magazine<\/a>, course administrators describe how 20 seniors on the BFA fashion programme will be selected to participate in the three-day workshop, where they will “engage with Galliano in all aspects of the creative process, including the intense pressure of sustainable a role [sic] at the very top of the design world.”<\/p>\n

The news follows on from reports<\/a> of Galliano’s appearance at Central Saint Martins in March, where the ex-Dior designer met with second-year students from the BA in Womenswear Fashion program.<\/p>\n

Galliano has kept a mostly low profile since his 2001 anti-Semitic outburst in Paris. He’s since popped up at Oscar de la Renta’s studio, where he quietly worked for a few weeks on the autumn\/winter 2013 collection and has been absolved<\/a> by the Anti-Defamation League for his sins.<\/p>\n

The Parsons job marks his first public appointment in the world of fashion – and even if it’s only for a university post, Parsons is still one of the most high-profile fashion schools in the world.<\/p>\n

Reactions on Twitter to the appointment have ranged from envy and ecstacy to… the other side of the spectrum, to say the least.<\/p>\n

Now I want to go to Parsons and meet the genius #Galliano<\/a><\/p>\n
