Au Revoir Galliano

Hello my dear friends, I have been taking some time to get through some personal matters that's why I have not posted anything in the past week and a half. Things started to take a turn for the better, but I got some very depressing news and my who fashion world came to a halt. If you keep up with the world fashion then you know what I am speaking about and understand how this could mess me up, but for those of you who are lost let me feel you in. The head designer for fashion house Christian Dior a Mr. Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano-Guillén best known by John Galliano(picture to the left) was Terminated from his position after allegation of racist remarks made at a Paris cafe to some travelers. This was then confirmed to be true by video footage of the Mr.Galliano that was taken in secret during the ordeal.

I must say I was shocked when I seen the footage but it was obvious that John was clearly drunk during the altercation and do to his inebriation was not all the way coherent to what he was saying. It is sad to think that this man who took the House of Dior and made it into an all new world of fantasy when he came in 14 years ago is no longer there and now his name and reputation is stained. I never got to meet him but I was able to attend a few of his pret-a-porter shows when I did frequent Paris during "Paris Fashion Week" and It was so inspiring just to be in the building he was in.

I think that he will make a comeback after this horrific mess of a media scandal, which will go down in fashion history and pop culture and leave a very nasty taste in people mouths. I can only imagine being at this past show which was the designers official last collection for the House of Dior. I do know there were many tears inside the tent erected in the gardens of the Musée Rodin that day as the show came to an end.

I am not sure what is to come for the House of Dior but I know they will make some great things happen until they have new front runner. Names are being tossed around to find a new designer such as Riccardo Tisci designer for the House of Givenchy, Alber Ebaz from the House of Lanvin and Haider Ackermanncthe new kid on the block. I am still amazed the queen of the fashion world Anna Wintor has said nothing about this whole thing. I am sure she is voicing her opinion to Christopher de Lapuente president of LVMH and Sidney Toledano CEO of Dior. They have so much at stake with this decision and by picking the wrong successor for the world renowned fashion house it could hit a ice patch and go into a fashion relapse like Christian Lacroix did in the 90's.

My sources tell me that Tisci is already confirmed just not publicly yet. If that is the case although Tisci is an amazing designer he would have some very big shoes to feel both figuratively and literally. This how thing just makes me super excited about Paris Fashion Week this July, I am going to be in a mad hunt to get a sit for Dior's Couture show this summer because this scandal has just made Dior the hottest show to get into. Cheers!!!!!!
