John Galliano to teach at Parsons in New York Former Dior designer John Galliano will reportedly teach a masterclass at Parsons The New School For Design, New York's top fashion college. The 52-year-old will lead the first in a series of classes titled SHOW ME EMOTION! for senior students of the prestigious college's Bachelor of Fine Arts program. The four-day course will consist of three days in the design studio with Galliano, followed by a critique and conversational Q&A session with the designer and Simon Collins, Dean of the School of Fashion, on the final day. READ: John Galliano to teach fashion? Rumours that Galliano was looking to teach at a top design college have been circulating for a few months, with a recent visit to his alma mater, London's Central Saint Martins, leading many to believe he was set for a post there. In a memo sent to Parsons' BFA students but now publicly circulated, the class is described as seeking to "engage its participants by provoking the power of emotion in context of fashion practice and exploration of intuitive, perceptive manners of investigational making." Students will reportedly be encouraged to interact with Galliano throughout the four days, using "intuition and emotion" to try and understand "the intense pressure of sustaining a role at the very top of the design world."

A technical genius, after more than twenty-five years of practice, what inspires him most today is not a destination of a geographical sense but the divergent journeys of the soul, mind, and reflection.

Earlier this year, Galliano completed a three-week stint at Oscar de la Renta's New York design studio, a partnership which was allegedly encouraged by Anna Wintour, one of his supporters. He was dismissed from his position as creative director at the house of Dior and also his eponymous label in 2011 following a drunken anti-Semitic tirade that was captured on film. His publicist has been contacted for a comment.
