interesting, hilarious and pitch black. I loled at this part:
"Galliano had always been the master of the Marie Antoinette-cum-Scarlett O’Hara-cum-imperial concubine look. But something about the new too-lavish details and hyper-expense suggested to me all the semiotic indicators of megalomaniacal dictator chic: a whorish criminal rococo for those who wanted to flaunt it.
I recognized Dior's new look as emanating from a certain dirty flavor of kleptocracy: I felt it was a look for Russia -- the sexy new Wild Wild East for entrepreneurial land sharks and hookers, made deliberately to "adorn mistresses and new trophy wives in the sartorial equivalent of hula skirts made from 500-euro notes.""
