Quotes of the Day: Galliano’s Cinematic Fall From Grace

By Fashionista Wednesday, Mar 2, 2011 / 8:59 AM

Was Galliano drunk and egged on? Apparently. But we can each write one part of every script — our own. –Bridget Foley in WWD, regarding the demise of John Galliano.

So John, speaking as a member of the fashion community who has always been inspired by your work, I think we are all only waiting for you to publicly excuse yourself, to admit that what you said is just fucking crazy! But mostly that it’s not what you truly believe. If you can confirm this for us, the entire fashion world would be able to come back on your side. And I, personally, don’t want you to become an Internet pariah. I still want to see more John Galliano collections — you’re one of the last designers of my generation that still believes in the power of fashion to make us dream. –Olivier Zahm in Purple Diary

Orange You Glad Estee Lauder’s New Spring Collection Is Here?

The Spring 2011 runways were awash with orange, both on the clothes and on the faces. But none of the looks got more attention than makeup artist Tom Pecheux’s pop of orange and white on the girls’ eyes at Derek Lam.

That 15 minute moment on the runway is now the cornerstone of Estée Lauder’s spring makeup line. After Tom, who is the Creative Makeup Director for Estée Lauder, used a coral lip pencil as an eyeliner, the brand quickly made plans to whip up eye shadows in the same colors.
