so my friend abe deyo texted me over the weekend and asked me what i was doing on saturday – i said i was mostly free but had some things going on, and i got a message back saying “how would you like to meet john galliano and be backstage at the dior show?” uhhhh, yeah, ok!
so i turn up on saturday and find that dior has set up a massive, half block long building right on top of the bund. crazy! the gig turned out to be 2nd photo assisting roxanne lowit, a lovely lady with the craziest portfolio. the entire experience was total madness, basically like everything you think about fashion in your brain but right there in your face. soooooo… kelis played the afterparty, the personalities in fashion are fantastic and crazy and hilarious, and you can see more on my flickr set HERE.
also, here are some things i learned:
a) the fashion world is way way way crazier than the advertising world (duh).
b) bernard arnault is not “bernard arnault”, but MR ARNAULT, always.
c) john galliano is amazing!
d) you have to rub stuff on a model’s legs before they walk. maybe something to do with the shine, but also because some of them have that gross anorexia hair.
e) everyone associated with dior is really, really tall.
xo
PS. took these photos on my crappy dinky tiny little sony cybershot, i think there’s something wrong with the focus…. wish i had taken more photos!

This is a really insightful writeup given the current environment and economic conditions and the subsequent competition in the jobs market to acquire talent. This standpoint was not thought of earlier. Also, networking on professional social networks and authority publications of merit go to further ones advantage
