Quote of the week 2: Karl Lagerfeld on Galliano

"I’m furious that it could happen, because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this. This is what makes me crazy in that story." Karl Lagerfeld on Galliano going mad.

Natalie Portman on weirdo-Galliano.

"I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano's comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful." Natalie Portman on weirdo-Galliano.

John Galliano counterfeits William Klein

The fashion designer was condemned to pay 200.000 euros of damages to the American photographer for counterfeiting the “contacts painted” technique for Dior ads.


The “painted contacts” of William Klein consist in operating new pullings of existing photographs in the shape of bigger “boards contact” and to surround a photograph with lacquers of color. A technique that the American artist, who currently lives in Paris, developed for about fifteen years. Even if the photographs used, are not those of William Klein, the five publicities, published in March in “Vogue” and “Elle” in France, but also in Great Britain or Russia, stole this concept.


In an interview to Le Monde, William Klein explained that he discovered with anger the pictures when a friend of his asked "why did you do those ugly pictures for Galliano ?"
But was it unexpected from Dior's designer or was it just another scandal to make Dior evenmore famous ? We could wonder about the strategy behind this so-called scandal.


Personally I believe Galliano did it knowing the consequences...marketing it's called.
