GALLIANO'S GRACE : fashion loves it's devils, ignores it's demons, and elevates it's fallen -

-
model, muse, or maestro,
fashion's greatest personalities
are tragically it's most tormented,
it's most coddled,
and it's most, 
when push comes to shove,
pitied.
-
it has driven countless talents to self-destruct
(mcqueen, galliano, decarnin),
to isolate themselves
(guiness, blow),
or to inflate themselves
(evangelista, campbell)
-
this is a cycle.
-
and no,
it makes little sense
to the outsider.
-
you can only hope that the younger talent in this industry
(lim/hernandez/mccullough/altuzzara)
rise above.
-
or that the industry
intervenes earlier
and cleans up it's own
tragedies in waiting.
-
the loss is getting to be monumental.
