Dior designer, John Galliano, has really been feeling the backlash after he made some anti-semantic remarks in a bar in Paris.

Not only did Natalie Portman not wear one of his designs to the Oscars, but now department stores are starting to pull his merchandise off the racks.

Saks carried a small selection of Galliano's menswear line, and that will be removed from the store. Neiman Marcus fashion director, Ken Dowing, told The Washington Post that his store will continue to carry Dior — but that doesn’t mean Neiman Marcus condones Galliano’s behavior.

Also some stores in Canada have gone as far as to pull Galliano's fragrance from the shelves.

However, all you Dior fans, do not worry the Dior label is staying put,  just Galliano's eponymous label is out.

LVMH (Louis Vuitton, Moet Hennessy) recently purchased Bulgari and now, according to the Sunday Times, has been considering purchasing the high-end shoe brand, Jimmy Choo. The Sunday Times reported Choo could be sold for as much as £500 million ($800 million).

However, The Financial Times reported that the private equity group, TowerBrook Capital, is also considering making a bid.

Whomever does purchase Choo, I'd love to see shoe prices drop so I could actually afford a pair!
