This saddens me so much. Considering that i don't see LVMH continuing the brand at all, we'll probably never see more galliano shows? I was always looking forward to his own line, more than dior (at least in the last 3/4 years).

^ That sucks.

Alber needs to stay at Lanvin until there is a spot open for him at Chanel. I would be ok with that move, I am not ok with him at Dior.

That is the most awful thing to do to a person, not letting him finish his last collection. Well f*ck them for it. The least he deserves is to have a decent final collection. I guess all that's gone now.
Shame on them.

I agree, that's very ugly of the people at Dior. I fully understand they don't support Galliano's behaviour but it's not like he did anything to them and they could at least show him enough respect and let him finish the collection and let him go through with his own show. That's the least they could do after everything he did for them. This way Galliano gets publically humilated even more. Of course that is mainly his own fault but seeing as how that guy clearly has some problems he's trying to solve now I don't see why they would have to nag at him even more now. Horrible situation. I wish they would have either showed both the Dior and the Galiano collection or neither of them.

It is a ****ty situation, especially since he created magnificent pieces for Dior. But I can totally understand why LVMH wants to drop any sort of association with him fast. Antisemitism is the worst type of discrimination in Europe.

When i read the news on the newspaper i instantly think Olivier Theyskens, anyway i don't the fact his not having a show with it's own brand, i'd love to see his last work.

 

[m.j.]

Theyskens looks a bit like John..... just saying....

 

[get fashion]

I was hoping a last Couture.
His own brand give us the most beautiful show on Summer 2011 at least a good finale.
But Dior Summer 2011, oh my, horror! hope this last show could be better.

 

[Psylocke]

@Mr. Fabulous: Yes, that I understand, too. But then why would they even show the Dior collection if they didn't want to be associated with him anymore? That is like saying, "We'll glady take the money we can get from selling this collection but you're not going to merit from it. F you, John."
Besides, I have no tolerance for people picking on someone who has mental health problems as you never know how that might effect that person. It could break Galliano completely and that is just as bad as what he did.

 

[Mr. Fabulous]

You and I both know LVMH is not the sincerest company in the world.

Tisci is "Too Dark" to be at Dior

I mean, it's not like he does the collection all by himself!!
plus, seeing how this being-drunk-alone situation wasn't his first time (there's no way his mental illness occurred overnight) it really makes me wonder how much of a driving force he was at the house anymore. The whole team working behind him also deserves credit for the work they been putting into the collection for weeks.
I've read somewhere that jewish journalist plan to boycott and protest outside the show tomorrow. I really wonder what would that serve, specially considering how quick and assertive the response from the dior execs was.

 

[noonfashion]

I think it must be MANISH ARORA

 

[Mr. Fabulous]

meaning?

Meaning that I don't deny them having something to do with this whole mess. I don't condone Galliano's actions at all --quite frankly I wanted a change in Dior-- but I think he should at least be able to show his last collection. :/ His couture shows were amazing.

 

[Dkammern]

I wanted a change too, and the first time I read about the whole issue, my first thought was "what if they didnt know how to get rid of him so they..."
but in the end these conspiracy theories don't go anywhere really. i think Dior did the right thing, because any other company would've "chickened out" and so the consequences could've been fatal. it takes guts to fire someone who has taken the label so high (even if he wasnt at his best professional moment), but this really shows that for some companies their "values" are important. Many firms just post them to their website and forget about them. Dior did stay true to them, so i applaud them for that

we'll see what happens next!

 

[kiddokiddo]

Marc leBihan would be a wild pick. He got the couture touch. I think they should do another major shakeup and appoint someone who's lesser recognized but with serious talent.

 

[Mr. Fabulous]

Yeah, but think about it.. If Galliano was still designing awesome pieces for Dior as he was in 2006/2007, would they still fire him or just suspend him?

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

interesting choices. Hedi Slimane definitly makes sense

 

[Mathewthew]

ME TOO .... Everyone was talking abt it and thinking whos' taking over...
and DING !! I scream Olivier Theyskens. He's perfect for the brand.

 

[gimmethatbag]

Yeah, but think about it.. If Galliano was still designing awesome pieces for Dior as he was in 2006/2007, would they still fire him or just suspend him?

They would fire him. If they had kept him, they ran the risk of protests, famous people refusing to show up to shows, empty seats... it might not have happened, but there was a possibility. It would have been a PR disaster and that could have spiraled into something even worse -- retailers refusing to sell the brand and things of that sort.

Hedi Slimane? Intriguing...
