Your Fired

If you've been following the fashion world like I have (thank God for the sake of this entry), you already know Alessandra Facchinetti was fired from head designer of Valentino. And how did she find out? By simply reading the morning paper.


Yup. That's about the most interesting thing I've heard all week. One minute you think you're the next big thing in fashion and the next you're being fired by the New York Times.


Valentino says she was fired because her visions were not the visions of Valentino and her fashions were "over-designed." Well-my God it took them this long to figure it out?


Fashion is meant to be creative. Runway shows are meant to be shocking. So what if Facchinetti failed to achieve Valentino's vision, she was able to produce her own.


What I'm saying is, yea her fashions sucked, but at least someone was proud of it.
