"the little hands of Dior studio crew"
- All what you see is NOT what you see,
All what you hear is not what it is supposed to be!
Don't beleive your eyes or even your brain, this is only " a Sting of the Tail"! -
We are Friday, March 4, 2.30pm, and this is in fact what Mr Sydney Toledano, director of "Christian Dior" comes and tells us on the front stage of the new Dior défilé for ready to wear AW11/12...
Mr Toledano is a magician, he must be "in reality" the new Dior designer, the One who can dress the Truth in another truth, better than anybody else:
Dior studio crew has designed by itself the new collection,
and if it can remind you someone's unique style and design,
Don't beleive it, this is not Dior truth, so not the truth,
The true Truth is that J... G....... has never existed,
How did you say? JG? Never heard about him.....
Extract of Mr Toledano's speech:
" ...Because the heart of the Dior Fashion House, this heart, this beating hurt, the one we don't see, is the studio crue and the ateliers. All those "little hands" who hold high , day after day, without counting their time, Mr Christian Dior's value and vision. Those "little hands" have today a haeavy heart. What you are going to see now is the result of their immense work."
"not even a word about John Galliano on Dior aknowledgements for the AW11/12 collection and show"
As previously reminded PART 1 ( http://birdy-diorhomme-blog.blogspot.com/2011/03/dior-and-winner-is-who-to-succeed-to.html ) it is really very estonishing the ultra-speed with which Dior and LVMH took the decision to dismiss John as if everything was already pre-organized before. Just like if it was a secret desire for the luxury brand to divorce from its star designer, only waiting for the right occasion to do it.
The John Galliano's contract with the fashion house was ending at the end of the year but some inside of Dior whispered that the designer was more and more absent from the studios, that John's health was worst and worst, inclined to a deep depression since his assistant and friend's death Steven Robinson but also under different heavy addictions... One told as well that Mr Bernard Arnaud, who was so proud of John as the Dior designer for the last 15 years, was more and more upset against John's attitude...
We also have to understand that the head management of LVMH was recently very embarassed after the words of the perfume creator Jean-Paul Guerlain, 73 years old and still consultant for the perfume brand "Guerlain" (another brand belonging to LVMH).
Even if Jean-Paul Guerlain has now been pushed out of "Guerlain", Bernard Arnaud and LVMH have been very much criticized to have kept silence for several long days before having condemned the unfortunate racist and innapropriate words of the old man about "nigers" during the mid-day news at the french television.
This bad experience could also explain why Bernard Arnaud had to make a quick decision about John Galliano so as not to further tarnish the reputation of the luxury group with a rich clientele extremely sensitive to this kind of talk... Don't forget that LVMH and Christian Dior Group are two major multinational companies which sales results directly affect the stock exchange quotations and so the life and evolution of these groups into a fight to death lead between the worlwide luxury brands...
For myself, I think both hypothesis are true together at the same time.
But it seems to me that there could have been other ways to manage this unfortunate affair.
Ways of elegancy which could have been more appropriate for a luxury group.
For sure, I certainly don't support John controversial and inappropriate views and attitude into this sad story and I also can understand Dior which was whatever obliged to react.
BUT, further than the decision itself, I totally disagree with the way Dior is now disguising the Truth, just forgetting fifteen years of its history (and of its success) in totally crossing off its memory a such super creator as John Galliano with all the superb work he did for Dior during all this years.
I do respect Mr Sydney Toledano, he is a very nice and elegant person, honest as well, but I can't accept he can resolve himself, even if he has been told to, to deny to John Galliano the fatherhood of the Dior AW11/12 "ready to wear" collection in presenting it as the result of the wonderful work of the "little hands" of the Dior studio crew.
Of course, Dior has maybe the best "little hands" of the world and their huge savoir-faire is really unique (I know several of them and I can testify myself their talent is incommensurable) but this only the designer who involves the Creation, the strenght, the Sacred Fire!
John is certainly suffering a lot for a certain time now but he must be even more destroyed today, so my best wishes are going to him at this moment.
I wish he could fast recover.
Jean-Paul Gaultier just declared he can not beleive John could be a racist. He explained that everything in John's work is an evidence he can not be a racist. Many other voices of professionals into the fashion word confirm now that John is the opposite of a racist.
Whatever, unfortunately, what has been said, has been said... and worst, in front of a camera.
This has given opportunities to the medias ans to some undelicate persons to take advantage of this case to make a field day...
Fashion world is a very merciless word and I can't forget the Great Alexander Mcqueen who committed suicide last year ( I am so sad about loosing Alexander, one of rare genius), Yves Saint Laurent, Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Christophe Decarnin and many other so talentuous fashion designers who also suffered their turn... and we can't forget the so many famous models who also suffered the same depression which broke their life...
Fashion is a creative but so destructive word!
Again, if I can not excuse the words, I can understand the heath disease, I am so sorry about it.
BUT no way, this can't help me to restore the TRUTH:
"What you are going to see, is what IT IS,
I mean,
DIOR AW11/12 "ready to wear" collection and défilé by JOHN GALLIANO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if you allow me, I would use some photoshop to restore a piece of Truth !
Mr John Galliano at his historical place!
My apologizes to Dior for my own "Sting of the Tail" - with a bit of humour and tragedy!
