High & Low: John Galliano

[ironymaiden]

Come for the wild fantasy couture, stay for the tabloid drama of a blackout drunk alcoholic spouting racism and anti-Semitism. The doc is entertaining and well-made, I particularly like the framing and lighting of Galliano as a talking head (he remains a very handsome and charismatic man).

The doc doesn't take a strong editorial position but I don't believe that he has grown and changed since the public outbursts that got him fired (other than getting rehab). After working with a rabbi he still dressed up like a Hasidic man while in NYC, and said "now I know how the Jews feel" when his house was vandalized. Oh honey, no.

There was a local fashion networking event after the show, so the people watching was amazing. Lots of folks dressed to the nines, women in insane high heels
