Is it true? A heated verbal tussle at a Paris bar this past week with a couple involving anti-Semitic slurs on the part of Mr. Galliano, involving a visit to the police station and all? Can it be? Or is he just trying to steal the limelight as Milan fashion week is going on?

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve had the opportunity to post. A great deal of travel and work to New York and Paris during the pre collections. The need to write has returned and the gears are turning once again…slowly. I’ve never made a stab at the Men’s Collections. Why not, right? I don’t travel to the men’s shows but I do follow them online, in print, etc.   The fall.winter 2011 Men’s Collections were held in Milan and Paris the last two weeks of January. For those not in the know… there are spectacles to rival the women’s shows. Some of them not all that appealing. This time around, I thought I would begin with some images that made me cringe and scratch my head. My only comment………

WHY?

Every once in a while…. something pops into your mailbox that makes you smile and think…. I wish I had the brains and the imagination to do something like this. My friend Joyce sent this to me today and I thought to myself… this needs to be shared even more.
