Rants and Raves



Buh-Bye, John - Outlandish wunderkind John Galliano is in hot water. After his anti-Semitic slurs, the House of Dior abruptly dismissed him followed by strong indignation and utter disgust by Natalie Portman and Daphne Guinness. Quick to defend, Patricia Field (Sex and the City, anyone?) downgraded the bashing to just a “farce.” Apparently, the History-challenged Patricia has ignorance written all over her face. Funny how one’s genius could be easily whittled down by just some random inebriations! Heidi Klum can not be more clairvoyant enough: In fashion, one day you’re in; the next day you’re out. Isaac Mizrahi has two syllables for John, though: “Buh-Bye!”



Elle Woods Elevated – Supermodels and Harvard are two incongruous, unmarriageable variables. Since time immemorial, their association has always been zilch. A deviation sometimes happens, though, and sometimes, in the name of Tyra Banks. A TV mogul whose value is estimated at $30 million, Tyra is enrolled in a three-year course entitled the Harvard Owner/President Management Program. Inevitable questions persist, naturally: Did she ace her SAT? Was her GMAT impressive? Either way, Tyra will definitely be the chicest and the most fashion-forward in campus. Now move over, Elle Woods!



Vogue Italia, Check ANTM’s 6’2 wonder Ann Ward’s Vogue Italia spread has already leaked on the internet. It’s playful, festive, imaginative and artistic; her expressions flawless and mesmerizing. The long-limbed and shy mannequin from Texas was crowned last cycle’s champ after enduring a fashion show on a moving platform, a photoshoot on rollerblades, catwalk faux pas and other crazy and gay challenges masterminded by an equally crazy and gay Tyra Banks. In a span of months, Ann has metamorphosized into a pro building a niche in the fashion world sans the too ominous ANTM tag. Next on the checklist: a Prada or Chanel campaign, perhaps? Werk it, Ann!
