• French police have ordered a meeting today between Dior designer John Galliano and Géraldine Bloch, the woman at whom Galliano is alleged to have verbally assaulted with anti-Semitic and other insults during a drunken altercation at a Paris café last week. Shortly after the incident, Galliano was suspended from his duties at Christian Dior. On Friday night, Galliano filed a claim of defamation, injury and menace against Bloch and her companion at the café, Philippe Virgiti. On Saturday, a second complaint against Galliano alleging anti-Semitic remarks was filed with Paris police by an unnamed woman. Meanwhile, British tabloid The Sun has posted a cell-phone video it says depicts Galliano verbally assaulting Bloch and Virgiti. [WWD, The Sun]
