<p>Fashion designer John Galliano denied accusations of racism when he faced his accusers at a Paris police station.</p>
<p>A couple claimed he made anti-Semitic slurs &#8211; illegal in France &#8211; after a video emerged of him praising Adolf Hitler.</p>
<p>Monday&#8217;s hearing was closed to the public, but a police officer said of Galliano: &#8220;He denied all the accusations against him.&#8221;</p>
<p>Also giving evidence were Galliano&#8217;s chauffeur and an employee of The Perle, the trendy cafe in Paris where the insults were allegedly made, but both reported they did not hear any anti-Semitic or racist remarks.</p>
<p>Christian Dior has suspended Galliano, its creative director, pending an investigation, citing its &#8220;zero-tolerance&#8221; policy on anti-Semitism. The fashion house is scheduled to present its autumn-winter 2011/12 ready-to-wear show on Friday as part of Paris fashion week.</p>
<p>The Paris prosecutor&#8217;s office is expected to decide what follow-up there may be.</p>
<p>French officials said a hospital test showed Galliano had 1.1 milligrams of alcohol per litre of blood, more than twice the legal limit to drive in France, after the incident last Thursday. The long-haired Gibraltar-born designer, wearing a wide-brimmed black hat and an earring, made no comment to reporters as he entered and left the police station.</p>
<p>During Monday&#8217;s hearing, a 47-year-old woman also gave evidence. She filed a complaint against Galliano on Saturday claiming that she was insulted in a similar fashion by the designer at The Perle about four months ago.</p>
<p>Galliano&#8217;s lawyer, Stephane Zerbib, was dismissive of this accuser. &#8220;We&#8217;re surprised by this new complaint which exactly resembles the first ones. It&#8217;s not by chance,&#8221; Mr Zerbib said. &#8220;It&#8217;s surprising that this person had not shown herself since October.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr Zerbib said the designer has filed a countersuit against the couple for alleged defamation, threats and insults.</p>
