firstly my dears - i am BACK. have been up to my eyeballs in a J Mendel event that left me literally brainless at the end of each day. tis now complete, wildly successful, and i am back here where i belong. i imagine you have been following all of the fashion news - shows happening 'round the globe (sorry i did not get to write on them); the Oscars.... Mila Kunis gets my number one spot on the list for that.... hands down....
and then, there is the John Galliano news. this makes me beyond sad. i will not dignify his behavior by putting a link or even writing what he said. suffice it to say it was repulsive and in no context or circumstance acceptable. if you are not aware of what happened, he went on two separate anti-semetic rants in Paris. he has since been fired from Dior and is facing criminal charges. this is a man who is a genius at his craft. he is one of the most talented and creative designers of our generation. sadly, that now stands a side note to this recent behavior. no one, regardless of who they are (or who they imagine themselves to be), has the right to speak such slander to another person. what is even more upsetting to me is that this venom is coming from a very eccentric gay man. one would think he would be aware of the hurt caused by misguided judgement from ignorant people. i'm more than certain at one point he was made fun of or harassed for being "different". we are all human. we are all different. we are all equal.
there is a level of division in fashion, certainly. it is "exclusive". who gets to go to the shows, who sits front row, who shops high end, who shops high street? but really at the end of the day, fashion is an equal playing field. it is about each and every one of us wanting and deserving to look fabulous and feel beautiful. that beauty starts inside. when the veneer cracks, we are all left with simply who we are. that's really all there is to say.
