Naughty John Galliano... The designer has just been ordered to pay £140,000 to photographer William Klein, after being found guilty of copying one of Klein's trademark techniques (painting over a photograph) in an advertising campaign. Tut, tut! While Klein has declared himself "bitter" and "angry" at the plagiarism, Galliano continues to plead innocence, claiming that although he was "inspired" by Klein's work, he did not set out to deliberately copy it. All of the images have now been withdrawn, but Galliano's lawyers are to appeal against the judges decision.
