Yesterday we noted that Marc Jacobs‘ late New York City runway show caused plenty of London-bound models to miss their flights overseas, and consequently—their scheduled assignments in London the next day. And Gucci‘s time-intensive three-day booking process of models for their Milan runway show caused major damage at London runway shows over the weekend.
So Alice Temperely has had enough: not only does she want London to be extended, she doesn’t understand why it’s getting the short shift to New York: “London’s better than New York Fashion Week now… It’s so creative here, whereas New York’s more commercial, but London needs more days.” London does need a helping hand to get its fashion week proceedings the respect they deserve and New York has been pretty commercial recently, but it’s a little tacky for Temperley to undermine NYFW just because she wants to stand up in support of London. Can’t we all just get along? (Also, who is Temperley kidding? London can’t hold a candle to NYFW.)
