The famous Metropolitan museum in New York cancelled a fashion exhibition.
This exhibition was supposed to present the work of the British designer John Galliano.
But many people criticized this project on social media.
People remember his antisemitic remarks in 2011.
At that time, Galliano lost his job at Dior because of this scandal.
The designer has apologized several times since this incident.
However, the museum decided that the time was not right for this tribute.
Anna Wintour, the famous editor of Vogue, nevertheless supported the exhibition.
Now, the fashion world is discussing this difficult decision.
