Galliano’s Arrest, Suspension and Dismissal

What overshadowed Paris Fashion week was the arrest of Dior’s creative director John Galliano because of his anti-Semitic remarks to a couple in a French bar.

His suspension hit the fashion news like a hurricane as he made his “I love Hitler” comment which led to his arrest and suspension from Dior. Days after the incident Dior decided to fire him. But with Fashion week on the go, Dior kept his designs to showcase on the runway.

Galliano is considered as one of the most talented designers in the industry. It’s a loss of good talent, not just to Dior but to the entire fashion world. Now, since Galliano is no longer connected with Dior, the Fashion house is looking for a new creative Director.

Kanye West’s Unwelcom Presence

Though America’s rapper Kanye West was seen in some of the Fashion show events, his absence was also noted in others.

Kanye West, who has an appreciation for fashion designing, flew his way to Paris for the Fashion Week and was caught up in the middle of the events because of his lack of invitations. He was seen attending Valentino, Givenchy and Westwood shows but he was not invited to some other shows.

According to Belwain representative, West tried, however the organizers let him know they cannot accommodate him. While on McQueen’s show, West didn’t make any request to attend, he just let himself in without an invitation.

His absence was also noted at Louis Vuitton show, it was speculated that West didn’t have an invitation for that event as well.

Smoking in Public?

Kate Moss smoking while doing the catwalk was really a head-turner during the Paris Fashion week.

The undisputed queen of the catwalk ignored the ban on smoking and indulged in her nicotine habit while strutting her style on March 9 fashion show. She may be 37 years old but she still got the moves. Instead of creating a drawback, her smoking entre has made a perfect ending to a fetish-themed collection by Marc Jacobs.
