“LOOK BACK THURSDAY, FASHION’S WILD KINGDOM”

…………………….Many years ago Women’s Wear Daily published these sketches of animals and over laid the sketches with designer’s faces and names. At first glance it seemed like a lot of fun! I have to say when it came out there was a lot of conversation about how some designers were depicted….Upon further examination it was obvious that John Fairchild was making a statement……Some of the designers were not friends of WWD, and had shaky relationships with Mr. Fairchild at best…….I was portrayed as as Panda…..which was fine with me……..better than a worm……LOL

    Haha! I expanded the photo and there he us! Thanks for pointing him out. Don’t think they ever made up.
    I enjoyed reading W Magazine when it was a newspaper style. I know I have a few copied buried somewhere.
    Thank you, Elaine

    Hi Louis,
    Geoffrey Beane is among the missing….guess that was in the middle of Mr. Fairchild’s feud with him!
    Have a good weekend,
    Elaine

      Elaine…look again….he was the Porcupine, but they use his real name not Beene. Fairchild and Beene hated each other.
