TO DIOR or NOT to DIOR

What?

Wait a minute - listen to this...once you read this - you'll be wondering where you stand too!! 

I was updating myself with some fashion fixes on the net when I came across this piece of article that got me thinking! The article says that...

Dior fans are confused on whether to continue to buy Dior bags and products mainly from Galliano's autumn/winter 2011 shows 

OR

....to dismiss his creations all together due to his anti-Semitic verbal abuses that was splurged all over the internet!!! (1st Class RACISM)

As the article puts it, the loyal fans of the classic French brand are in an "awkward position". I must say this made me laugh in my stomach! 

To top this all off, Galliano's 2011 collection has been reported to be the best among recent years and to rave reviews in Paris Fashion Week! 

Usually, the fashion industry, like any other business industry, evolve around a culture of controversies and non-ethics. Almost all or some of these controversies are covered, not spoken of or even just swept under the carpet. It's all about getting ahead and DOING anything to get ahead!!!

HOWEVER

It was apparent that Galliano's racist stance was taken in a VERY serious light - this was seen through the termination of the Head designers position within the French Fashion House!  

The Fashion House is also worried about reaching its sales targets for the 2011 collection that showed in paris due to even loyal fans turning away in repulsion to Galliano! 

So what would you do in this position? Would you continue to buy the bags or would you not buy anything because you're standing against RACISM all together?

Think about it....Either way, Have a stand! Even Dior made the move to fire its most talented designer!

I can tell you NOW that I will not buy anything off the season that has Galliano's imprint on it!! Endorsing and purchasing anything off his collection, and pretending as though nothing happened would make me pretty damn ignorant! In a fraction it is almost like endorsing Hitler's BAD works - hahaahaha! 

So STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!! 

(Fashion vs Ethics)

Have a great day ;)
