Galliano Causes Fashion To Face Race

“I love Hitler!”

“People like you would be dead today.”

“Your mothers, your forefathers would be *$#%ing gassed and *$#%ing dead.”

It happened to be those choice words that secured John Galliano’s release from his position as Creative Director of world-renowned fashion house Christian Dior on Tuesday, March 1, 2011. The fiasco has thrown the industry in a justifiable frenzy as questions compound upon themselves. Why? Was this the first time? What will happen to the Galliano label? And most importantly to some, who’s next?

Dude Looks Like A Lady?

You’re late for class. So, you jump out of the bed, splash a little water on your face, dig through your pile of laundry, whip out a skirt and shimmy into it. Two minutes later, you’ve jogged to class, only to discover that it’s canceled.

Growing A Pair of Golden Globes: Best Dressed

Year after year, fashion critics have found themselves particularly bored with red

carpet style, often labeling celebrities as dressing "safe". There are numerous

reasons behind this boredom-induced brand, namely, the popularity of fashion

bloggers who are often bent on tearing through one celeb's bland red carpet

choice after another. But, if this year’s Golden Globe Awards is any inclination, it

seems that Hollywood’s megastars (and their stylists) are growing, err—gaining a

bit more confidence in the fashion department.

Deemed by several critics as the best in a while, the red carpet at the most

recent Golden Globes was chock-full of runway moments. From Anne Hathaway

wearing the closing look of the Armani Privé Fall 2010 Couture show, to both

Catherine Zeta Jones and Dianna Agron wearing pieces from Pre-Fall 2011

collections (Monique Lhullier and J. Mendel, respectively), the majority of which

are still in the process of debuting, the idea that the runway is too conceptual for

the masses may be slipping from predominance.

Green seemed to be the color du jour as Angelina Jolie, CZJ, Elizabeth Moss

and Mila Kunis all arrived in versions of emerald. There seemed to be a stylistic

divergence occurring on the red carpet that night. On the one hand, Claire

Danes and Emma Stone channeled clean minimalism, both wearing custom

Calvin Klein Collection pieces. Yet, on the other hand, CZJ and Mandy Moore

chose indulgent extravagance with full Monique Lhuillier gowns.

For many critics, this red carpet was especially refreshing. While names on the

best and worst dressed lists ranged, the general consensus is in: If stars keep

dressing like this, we’ll look forward to the next red carpet event.
