He's Come Undone: The New Yorker On Galliano's Unraveling

Yesterday's post on The New Yorker's "News Desk" blog about Galliano was penned by Michael Specter, who wrote a fantastic profile of the doomed designer entitled "The Fantasist" seven years ago. Here, a few wise theories courtesy of Specter for making sense of Galliano's madness:

1. One's personal demons and hedonistic vices are often romanticized by the style set: "Even Galliano’s drug abuse was seen by many of the most prominent people in fashion as an adorable foible, like wearing a monocle or writing with a fountain pen."

2. Prominent people should stop doing irrational and incriminating things because there's an iPhone lurking around every corner: " ...[Galliano] also denied the worst charges, which would certainly have been the thing to do if his perfidious behavior had not been captured by someone’s camera phone. (When are famous people going to realize that the days of private outbursts in public places have ended?)"

3. Be offended and disgusted, but don't be surprised: "But who could be shocked at his behavior? Who would have expected any other end?"

4. Fashion is forgiving since train wrecks happen... "If it is the end: the fashion world has a remarkable ability to shrug off the odd deeply flawed human being, as long as he or she can... wear one like Kate Moss, who, despite behavior that sets a disastrous example for millions of girls, including issues with drugs, is forgiven because, well, she is really very pretty."

5. ...And they happen quite often: "Let’s watch the self-righteous indignation and reserve a little anger for the enablers. Because when it comes to people like John Galliano, there are way too many of them to count."

A Moment With...Justin Long

Chic (literally) bumped into Justin Long last night at La Grenouille where Chanel hosted a lovely fête in honor of Blake Lively. The down to earth comedian, known for his witty one-liners (and famous ex, Drew Barrymore), dished on all things fashion. Don't hold back, Justin!

What brings you here tonight?
Blake is an old friend. We met doing a movie six years ago called Accepted. But she downplayed how extravagant this was going to be. I normally don't go to things like this. There's amazons everywhere.

What's your favorite cocktail?
I'm simple. There's a great bar in Austin called Poseidon. I was just there and ordered a great absinthe-based cocktail. I usually just drink beer...or liquid meth.

What do you think that Karl Lagerfeld should invent next?
A onsie. A really simple minimalist unitard.

What percentage of your closet is Chanel?
This is easy to answer because I don't have a closet at the moment. So zero percent or 100 percent, depending on how you look at it.

What's the most random fact you know about the house of Chanel?
I know they have a wonderfully smelling doorbell right outside. And they have an insanely trendy welcome mat. It's so trendy you're not supposed to wipe your feet on it--it's just for show. I stepped in Chanel dog poo and anyway...the rest is...this is the first event I've been invited back to. Let's just say that.
