Thank you and say it again for the people in the cheap seats! I was left totally confused after I was sexually assaulted by a so-called “male feminist” in undergrad. I was SO young and naive and it took other women to unpack that just because some guy calls himself a “feminist” doesn’t mean he can’t use violence and…

Ughhhhhhh!

Not being snarky, but the “muted” used in this context meant “toned down : low-key, subdued”

I’m also biased because of the horrible way Lanvin treated Alber Elbaz during his departure which at the time seemed indicative of other things (I thought perhaps veiled homophobia and a twinge anti-semitism) which makes these racism claims easier to believe. I’m glad/and a little sad my gut is always right.

He shouldn’t use either word, but the imagery may indicate some sort of pathology with the user...Scary sh*t.

Favorite movie, huh?

Did you see the part of the post on “sneaking 15 year olds into Paris?” As in unsupervised children working? I was like...

Did anyone catch the “Lanvin doesn’t want models of color/Black models at all” thing? That’s horrible but not surprising.

What!? I need to Google that!

Thanks for the insight; The more I read about this story the more it’s sounding like a “Salahi” situation where no one in Streep’s camp gave a solid yes to wearing the dress but Lagerfeld’s people needed to placate him and told him it was a go, so he had dress altered and no one had the guts to admit there was a…

Yes, the ladies at the ateliers are paid well, but the businesses have to be profitable either way. Think of all of the luxury brands that have gone under (Claude Montana, Steven Burrows, etc.) due to overspending and allegedly “giving” pieces to friends and family. Mr. Lagerfeld still has autonomy over his designs…

Happier, but there are shenanigans everywhere!

I wish more people understood this...

Great point, but no matter how horrible fashion reps are (and they’re pretty bad) it’s really unprofessional to ever say that kind of thing (which is probably what happened.) Now we have a sh*tshow over something petty which is why I turned to non-profit work and will never, ever go back to fashion PR.

Stylists often have access to house accounts at stores to buy things in a celebrities’ name and sell it some place else or on eBay AND can draw money with the help of 2nd assistants, etc from multiple banks accounts a celebrity might have. They take out lines of credit then pay the bills because the celebrity is…

I don’t think it was the stylist who “revealed” the scam, an unseasoned assistant probably spilled the beans. I worked for an eyewear company for a few years in marketing and you’d be surprised at the stylists who would try to solicit frames from our little company with the promise a celebrity would wear them.

I think her stylist may have been running a hustle behind her back. Maybe she “thinks” she doesn’t get paid to wear designs because she never sees any of the money from it.
