Jezebel: Galliano

Six Months After Galliano's Meltdown, Dior Still Hasn't Replaced Him

Jenna Sauers — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:05:00 EDT

Six months after John Galliano was fired for making racist remarks to a couple of strangers in a bar, Christian Dior still doesn't have a creative director. Galliano's halfway to having his reputation restored — he made Kate Moss's wedding dress, and the editor of Vogue Italia is now telling the press to get some perspective because "he didn't kill anyone!" — and Dior still doesn't have anyone steering the ship. After a dog's breakfast of a couture collection this summer, it will be interesting to see what turns up on the runway this week in Paris. Women's Wear Daily published one hint from the atelier this morning: a '50s-style houndtooth blazer and a black skirt, shown here on the right. Groundbreaking. For purposes of comparison, in the center is something Galliano designed. [WWD] More »

Velvet D'Amour: "My Quest Is To Diversify Notions Of Modern Beauty"

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:30:00 EDT

Yesterday we got an email that read, "Hi. I am Velvet. I had the good fortune to score the lead in Avida, which has just come out on DVD in the USA. It would be great if you could make mention of this as it is nice to find films willing to be inclusive of the atypical and divorcing themselves from a leading lady which fits typical Hollywood beauty ethic. Thanks very much, Velvet." Noted! Plus: Velvet, who famously walked for Jean Paul Gaultier, has an interview with the blog 5 Resolutions. Velvet is articulate, thoughtful and pretty fucking awesome. On Galliano: "He seemed very taken by the images in my book, and we had a nice chat about philosophies of beauty as well. It was wonderful to speak with such an amazing talent that I had always revered. As to what statement I wanted to make, my quest is to diversify notions of modern beauty, and I knew my inclusion would spark debate and get people talking if nothing else… JPG has been clear on the statement he was making—that beauty takes many forms."
