• Designer Eric Gask­ins has been revealed as the author of The Emperor’s Old Clothes. He deliv­ers his opin­ions uncen­sored and cut­ting. Writ­ing about the recent spring 2010 shows, he plainly stated that “Givenchy by Tisci” sucked, going on to explain that “Tisci is a lamb lost in the slaugh­ter house. His ideas for men are banal, unin­ter­est­ing and worst of all irrel­e­vant. All those peo­ple who fight for his legit­i­macy are shame­less road­ies and toad­ies to his empire of smoke. I don’t buy it and wouldn’t accept a gold lame t-​​shirt from that col­lec­tion if it were a gift includ­ing a gift cer­tifi­cate.” (New York Times via JC Report)
