Galliano Dress Forbidden for Israeli Eurovision Contestant

Israel's contestant in the international Eurovision music contest was barred from wearing a dress by designer John Galliano, who lost his job as the top designer at Christian Dior two years ago after being arrested for making anti-Semitic statements at a Paris bar.

The Israel Broadcasting Authority, which sponsors the Israeli contestant and broadcasts the popular competition, said it would not allow Moran Mazor to wear the dress that Galliano agreed to design for her.

In May, Mazor will travel to Sweden for Eurovision, where she will sing "Rak Bishvilo," or "Only for Him."
