Vogue reported that Galliano "has worked long and hard on his recovery", after Galliano admitted to WWD "I am an alcoholic." de la Renta has known Galliano for many years, admires his work and is more than happy to be offering him such a vast opportunity.
The designer has deeply expressed his sympathy "I said and
did things which hurt others, especially members of the Jewish
community. I have expressed my sorrow privately and publicly for
the pain which I caused, and I continue to do so. I remain
committed to making amends to those I have hurt." Vogue reported.
