“A man has 100 faces and a company has 1000 faces”

Seated at a café table in Paris, insults a group of Italian women and he declares 

“I love Hitler… People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be fucking gassed.” #JohnGalliano

This incident happened just before the Paris Fashion Week for Autumn/Winter 2011/12. 

Yes, Galliano was head of Givenchy. That very ultra luxury Givenchy has been a leader in the luxury fashion industry since the 50s. The most famous ambassador of Givenchy was the greatest female screen legend Audrey Hepburn in films such as Sabrina, How to Steal a Million, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and many more. She (off/on screen) loved to cover herself in Givenchy till her death. 

In the 21st century, Givenchy dresses many Hollywood stars, including Cate Blanchett, Emma Stone, Lady Gaga, Julianne Moore, Julia Roberts, Rooney Mara, and others…This doesn’t end here.

Meghan Markle wore a gown from Givenchy at her wedding to Prince Harry on 19 May 2018. 

If we talk about Top Indian celebrities, they long to wear Givenchy whether it’s Shahrukh, Ranbir, or any other names. Their fashion fantasies are halfway if the text “Givenchy” doesn’t shimmers on their body. 

After finishing with Givenchy, Galliano was head designer for super luxury fashion company “Dior”. He served there nearly 15 years and helped dress up almost every celebrity and fatcats of the world. 

And this day, Galliano is creative head for the Paris based luxury fashion house “Maison Margiela” that has collaborated and designs with Barneys New York, Converse, G-Shock, Opening Ceremony, Hermès, H&M, L’Oreal, Swarovski Etc. 

All of the above write-up doesn’t intend to revise your fashion vocabulary but to remind us that what we say does not necessarily tell us about who we are and what we actually do. 

Name a single celebrity or money monster at this hour who doesn’t like to wear, spray, hang, flaunt with Dior, Givenchy, Hermes, H&M, L’Oreal, Swarovski.

All their dreams are to live up with it and they do nightmares to get it at any cost. They never care that the very Galliano who admires Hitler is behind all this stuff. They never want to know that the man who openly abuses Italian women in a cafe is the same man who designs dresses for them. Because this world doesn’t care about your words but your work. This world doesn’t count on your point of view but your point of design. And I think this is a righteous way to be yourself. So be you folks. 

Covid19 “A earth formatting software”

A vibrant and buzzing local market in the vicinity of south Delhi where in general day, distance between two Sedans/SUV was seen narrowly by inches here on bustling road, now it appears thoroughly deserted. It is unkind seeing this limping look of solemn street and commemorated corner of this ceremonious city. 

“A deserted street in Ghitorni South Delhi”

I believe the human lives were not as inexpensive ever before than this #covid19 pandemic time it is. We humans were not so hopeless or helpless like we are today. We people were not so pained or poor the way we are today. Our hearts were not as heavy and hazardous than it is now. It is not a bad time but time is bad. 

It felt like mother Earth is formatting itself by this “Covid office 2019”. And while formatting you can do nothing but wait until it gets formatted. You cannot run or play any command like you used to do. 

All I’d say to all of you is to listen to each other no matter if it’s one’s error or human error or syntax error.
