Galliano, Azzedine Alaia, Giorgio Armani, Anna Wintour, the fashion world is a soap opera (and good)

Go, go, go. John Galliano opened pandora's box a few months ago in the fashion world and nobody seems able to close it. since many scandals that beset the world appeared to be an untouchable, from the designer of Dior's dismissal by some anti-Semitic statements, through the dismissal of Decarnin in Balmain , the countless demands of Christian Louboutin at various firms including YSL ... And now it's the turn of Azzedine Alaïa and Giorgio Armani.

The first was news last week to reject the vacant post of the French firm because it believes that what happened to Galliano was very sad and for that reason did not want to be part of that chapter. At the end of the day it seems that it was Dior designer then you still have friends. But it is the only statement of ALAI has been language and has criticized two of the great Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour.

Who will remember Anna Wintour in the history of fashion? Nobody. So it has been shown to blunt the designer also added that it was too good PR and business and that scares people, but only to see her dressed and tastes shows that you have. It seems that the anger comes from years: Vogue USA never shows pictures of the collection of Azzedine Alaïa. As regards Karl Lagerfeld, the designer said that Kaiser has never ever touched a pair of scissors.

I do not like your fashion, your spirit, your attitude. It's too cartoon. (...) This does not mean that is not great, but is part of another system. He has the ability. One day makes photography to the next advertises Coca-Cola. I'd rather die than see my face in a car ad. We do the same job.

But is not the only 'big' (and do not say his height, if not their jobs) in the industry who have done with other 'big'. Giorgio Armani, this appeared to be the most serious and sympathetic this world has gotten two colleagues homelands: Dolce & Gabbana and Prada. was dispatched without any contemplation and apparently did not sit well the news out of the bag Prada. But also got hard with their collections.

Miuccia Prada has chosen the path of irony, bad taste that becomes chic. And in this vein are great, such as Dolce & Gabbana. But it bothers me that they are given space in newspapers.
