the one that got away…. John Galliano
Each season, the schedule is pretty unforgiving. You work in advance to set your appointments on an itinerary that works alongside the runway presentations. I made my first appointment for this trip on 9 December 2009. The official runway show schedule is set perhaps 2-3 weeks in advance… so for Paris, that would have been mid to late February 2010. If I waited for the final word for the runway schedule to start making showroom appointments, I wouldn’t have any appointments at all. Near last minute, there was a change on the runway schedule. John Galliano moved his show up on the calendar and earlier in the day than his usual spot of 8:30pm. I had already schedule a showroom appointment at the time slot of 5:00pm on Sunday, 7 March. It was an appointment I could not move to another time slot and I did try…. so guess what? The Galliano show was the sacrifice. A big show that I hate to miss… ( if you saw my post from his show last season ) but alas, a working showroom appointment takes precedence. There, too, are sacrifices in fashion.
