BUT I AM BACK!!
Sorry about the lack of blog action, got delayed by some intense journalism assessments and BBC work placement (which is ridiculously cool).
But that does not mean that I have kept my beady eye off the fashion stakes. OH NO…
Now I know this story is just over a week old but i have to mention it, it makes me laugh:
“TROUSERGATE: FASHION´S MOST ACIDIC ROW IN 15 YEARS”
Even the headline is overly dramatic!!
WHAT HAPPENED?
Well…Giorgio Armani accused Dolce and Gabbana of copying him at Milan Fashion Week.
You would have thought these two were grown up enough not to squabble. Oh no!
The row apparently started when D&G were showing off their new quilted silk trousers (yes you did read that right).
Armani, the little scamp, then kicked off as he brought out trousers with the same design. SHOCK HORROR.
D&G (not sure whether it was D or G or both here) then said that they would never have copied Armani´because he has nothing to teach them´.
How catty. It makes me giggle.
Armani is then reported to have said “now they copy, later they learn”.
In my head, he is jumping up with wild hand movements saying this in an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice. I do realise that this is extremely unlikely.
But wait, I´m not done…D&G said the following about Armani:
“He has never been a source of inspiration for us and we stopped seeing his shows years ago.” OUCH.
The world of men´s fashion is highly amusing!
P.sssssss. i saw the D&G model David Gandy sitting opposite me on a completely empty tube train just before xmas. That really is absolutely fabulous!In case you don´t know who he is…here is a little video…
Dead fashionable-moda extra.
