As the editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, Franca Sozzani is one of the more outspoken editors in the business.

She's made statements, both personally and through her magazine, on race , body image , eating disorders and assorted topics from "Jersey Shore" to men in fashion .

So of course the editor also sounded off on the dismissal of John Galliano from Christian Dior. Back in February, Sozzani condemned the designer's actions , saying, "I'm so against anyone that could say something anti-Semitic, against religion....You can say, 'You're a bitch,' 'You're terrible,' but nothing about religion."

Now Franca's seem to come around entirely, telling the Daily Beast: "Hire back John Galliano."

Sozzani told the site :

Look. I understand their point of view [at Dior]. I understand they couldnt just say, Bad boy! We forgive you! Come back! But its really a pity. And I will never believe he believed what he said. I think he was drunk and alone in a bar. When people go crazy, they go crazy. Its a human case, its not political or religious. He didnt kill anyone!
