An exhausted and very drunk, very brilliant genius is set upon by cell phone papparazzi twerps and Dior, forgetful of the hundreds of millions the genius has made them and being supported by L.M.V.H, who has driven the genius to exhaustion in advance of Paris Fashion week, fires him. What? Fire your brilliant John because he was a rather tacky drunk? Are they loyal to Lagerfield or is he the next to be set upon? I mean after all he is GERMAN!
In this age when everyone has a cellphone camera and a video of a former Royal Duchess seeking bribes go viral on the internet, is anyone certain their private moments are not being watched by Mongolian tribesman with aceess to YouTube? Having had the honor of working with an international Opera Company I developed a thicker skin than the woman in the Cafe in Paris, so that I am not inclined to go viral when a drunk Russian Tenor passes out or a 20 something ballet boy of the Opera Ballet assures me on stage that no one will want me for anyting ever.
To the outraged and hurt observers of a farce that has no meaning to anyone other than John and the vile papprazzi wannabes that recorded and marketed it, I think Hitchcocks direction to Miss Novack.."let's not go to deeply into these things it is only a Movie." should help them move on....think of this.about our friend the brillant John.".let us not go to deeply into these things it is only the drunk ravings of an exhausted genius being harrassed by papparazzi." I has nothing, repeat NOTHING TO DO WITH SHOAH!
If they are so offended by poor John's rant than what do they think of Coco Chanel? Mde. Coco was far too use to the luxury that only Paris can provide to allow the occupation of her nation's capital by the victorius enemy to cause her discomfort. If dinner nightly ,with senior member's of the German Wermacht and Gestapo, resident in the Hotel Mde. Coco was also resident of., provided access to the oppulent world Mde preferred, than was it different than Russian Grand Dukes? Clearly not in Chanel's view of the world. I hesitate to say for fear of panicing the Pomeanian, what the legions of forming mobs must think of Hugo Boss! How do they overlook the founder's early, active and continual membership in the Nazi party? I doubt very much they know the history of support the finest Italian textile houses provided Il Duces popular movement.
Please may I ask the angry this, would it not have been better and far more supportive of the international culture of fashion, had L.M.V.H and Dio,r instead of firing him, sent Galliano to recovery and rest? Do the mobs of the offended really feel it's about latent anti-semitism rather than about what can happen to the truest of designers during the exhausting process of creation and execution of a new collection? Perhaps, like Alexander McQueen's suicide at this time last year, that rather than fear John, see him as this year's victim sacrificed upon the alter of fashion, done in by the pressure of bringing a Haute Couture Collection to show in a world much poorer than a few year's ago ? Is it tragic? Yes, but rejoice though in this, John isn't dead and his genius remains. Think too of this, isn't this incident much like Churchill's reply to a rather boarish dinner companion who had commented upon his drunken state ..."yes Madam I am drunk and you are very fat but tomorrow I will be sober and you will still be fat". Tomorrow John Galliano will continue to create fashion that is artful celebration of the best that is the best of culture and the boars will be gone. BRAVA JOHN!....but do friend John rest and order mineral water!
