New York is gearing up for fashion week, starting September 6th. We have previously reported on the impact fashion week has on the industry as a whole, and how it influences the lives or ordinary women.
John Galliano, former Director of Fashion for Dior. Galliano has been convicted of anti-semitism.
Fashion week occurs at Lincoln Centre New York, close to the location of the recent deaths in the city: the suicide of a man at the Peninsula Hotel on 5th Avenue, on the 8th August; a man shot by police in Times Square the following day; and the tragic shooting outside the Empire State building. The Empire State building shooting involved a man shooting a former work colleague, who worked in the fashion industry, nine others were injured, the gunman was also shot by police.
I remember this happen a couple of years back. You guys spoke of maintaining some sort of presence in the area and this Galliano thing then happens.
What do you guys do exactly to actually change things? I need to watch some your live broadcasts….
