FRIDAY FASHION

"In Milan, the sex has gone bad or it has gone missing."--Robin Givhan, still pretty sour over Milan

"This city inspires the esoteric point of view. Notions that are hailed as fearless on the runways here would be dismissed as ridiculous in New York or Milan, where fashion is deemed craft, not art; commerce, not poetry."--Robin Givhan goes to Paris.

"The collection that designer John Galliano presented for Christian Dior Tuesday can only be described as hid-e-ous. Each syllable must be carefully and dramatically enunciated in order to convey the full jaw-dropping ungainliness of this spring 2007 collection."--Still in Paris, Robin Givhan is sour on Dior but sweet on Valentino.
