Finally, he was called "the John Candy of fashion?" What in the world does that mean? That whole gawker blip was a bit odd (also the thing about nobody at the Dior office speaking English after hours... well, obviously, it's a French design house and probably just the answering service).

John Candy was a comedian, also obese, also died young. See Only the Lonely for his best performance on film (a very charming movie, I particularly love the moment where he covers the statuette of Mary with his cap in the bedroom )

I believe they're trying to comply with journalistic standards and try to reach involved parties for comment

John Franklin Candy (October 31, 1950 – March 4, 1994) was a Canadian comedian and actor. Candy rose to fame as a member of the Toronto branch of The Second City, often playing lovable losers and characters with bad luck but big hearts. His television and film roles were mostly comedic, such as his memorable characters in Spaceballs, Stripes, The Blues Brothers, Canadian Bacon, Brewster's Millions, Only The Lonely, Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors, and Planes, Trains & Automobiles, but he also played serious characters in films like JFK and Cool Runnings.

I guess I should have been clearer; I know John Candy well and love his films. I just thought it a very strange comparison for them to make it in that way.

The funeral was today, there's a couple of pictures of Gisele Bundchen in her thread as she attended.

One of the articles quoted Pat McGrath saying he was always making everyone laugh ...

The service was beautiful and he'll be sorely missed by a lot of people because he was a very generous spirit. He was also extremely modest and retiring - although he didn't suffer fools - and it was good that his family were able to see just how highly people thought of him. All kinds of people came out of the woodwork, so to speak, to say goodbye. McGrath is right: he made everyone laugh. He made me laugh a lot. He was always upbeat, even when he and John were so broke that they were sleeping on friend's floors and bumming cigarettes, as John put it, from people in the street. John has always credited Steven as the one who made things happen but to suggest that Steven was the talent behind the throne would be offensive to Steven. Theirs was a very pure collaboration. In a sense, the John Candy reference isn't too far from the mark. There are many total sh*ts barging around on Planet Fashion but Steven Robinson was one of the givers rather than the takers. I can't think of anyone else like him.

it really is sad, it will be interesting to see how the next Dior Couture collection will turn out after this great loss

 

[marywalsh]

Yes I know I have been thinking of that as well. Hopefully Galliano will come back stronger than ever.
