As always Cathy Horyn compacted the feeling of us all in her article published last night. As expected lots of stories about John’s addiction problem are surfacing.
As I mentioned his problem was well known by many and it is said that John did not design. Apparently, has said by Horyn the executive of Dior, Sydney Toledano, suggested many times that he should seek help (rehab) but of course they were not insistent enough…
“But increasingly one had the feeling that Mr. Galliano was indulged in ways that went beyond the normal — the driver, the bodyguard, the research trips, the vacations, the teams of assistants — and might have caused even the steadiest soul to lose touch with reality. Mr. Toledano is known to have repeatedly encouraged him to seek professional help for some issues (presumably, drinking), but Mr. Galliano’s replies were indirect. Or he said he would go to a spa.” Read the full article here at the NY Times, by Horyn.
