Show must go on

See you soon Galliano!



It's the end of an era. Dior show opened with a speech of Ceo of Dior.After a brief history notes

"His values, his genius and his legacy have contributed to enhancing France’s image and culture around the world for more than sixty years"

he remarked the values of the Maison

"Mousier Dior believed in the importance of respect and in the capacity of this fundamental value not only to bring out the beauty in women, but also to bring out the best in all people"

and exalted the ability of craftmanship of its employees

" a group of people within the House of Dior who devote all their talent and energy to achieving the ultimate in artisanship and femininity, respecting traditional skills and incorporating modern technique"

The speech wanted to remark that Dior exists despite its designer but everyone was thinking at the big absent who was there in his beautiful designs.Romantic dresses,floaty skirts,fur collars,ruffles,tulle and embroideries.
Galliano's magic is still there.
Dior's employees apperead at the end of the runway.
The observers were quiet all the time, even the craftmen were touched.Maybe they were thinking that Galliano discharge was too impatient and severe in spite of his public excuses.
Meanwhile the axed designer left France to go in rehab following the advice of his friends Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss.
But it's not over.
Behind the scenes, Dior is telling industry watchers it is glad Galliano is gone, as it wanted to move away from his theatrical style and embrace a more subtle and refined elegance to better reflects post-economic crisis society.
Someone is biting the hand that feeded him.

John Galliano suspended

News of the day:John Galliano has been suspended as creative director of the Dior Maison.

News of what happened are confused and not confirmed. British fashion designer John Galliano has been suspended as creative director of Christian Dior after he was detained and accused of an anti-Semitic insult.Dior said it is suspending him pending an investigation into the incident in a Paris restaurant on Thursday night.The Paris prosecutor's office said a couple in the restaurant accused Galliano of anti-Semitic insults.A police official said Galliano and the couple also slapped each other. He said Galliano's blood alcohol levels were high.It's not clear if he's been taken in jail or not.His lawers denied the insults. As you can see the matter is complicated and delicate.

In my opionion we have to observe that economic justice seems to be harder than french one.In France the sentence for someone guilty of racist remarks is 6 months of jail and 22.500 euros in fine.Maison Dior, without waiting the result of the investigation, scared of sales decrease,declared Galliano guilty suspending him from his role during the fashion week.It's not clear if the Dior runway will take place as scheduled. I think they too quickly took the distance from a man who made the maison shine for 14 years.Maybe the Country will consider you innocent until proven guilty but don't expect the same treatment from the Money.

John Galliano è stato sospeso da direttore creativo di Dior perchè accusato di insulti razzisti.

Le modalità dell'accaduto non sono chiare e le notizie a riguardo sono contrastanti. Galliano avrebbe insultato con epiteti razzisti una coppia di ebrei.Non è chiaro se sia stato condotto in prigione e poi rilasciato pare comunque che il suo tasso alcolico nel sangue fosse alto.La coppia avrebbe sporto denuncia e un'indagine sarebbe in corso.Pare che i legali di Galliano abbiano smentito gli insulti.

Lo stato francese condanna il razzismo con una multa di 22 mila euro ed con la detenzione in carcere fino a 6 mesi.Se fosse giudicato colpevole questa sarebbe la pena a cui Galliano andrebbe incontro. Ma c'è qualcuno che già l'ha giudicato colpevole e condannato ed è proprio la Maison Dior che spaventata da un crollo delle vendite, l'ha sospeso da direttore creativo durante la settimana della moda. Non è chiaro se la sfilata Dior avrà luogo o no. Non vi sembra che abbiano preso le distanze troppo in fretta da un uomo che ha dato lustro al nome Dior negli ultimi 14 anni?Lo Stato potrà anche considerare innocenti gli accusati finchè non dichiarati colpevoli ma il Denaro no.

Che ne pensate?
