Girl Uninvited

The self important fashion bloggers who complain about not getting into shows (sheepishly raising hand) should take note from Cathy Horyn. Although her reasons seems wholly related to her review as opposed to her status. Today she goes into detail on receiving an invite then having that invite from Armani called back. Why? Because she told “the man” a little something about his collection and where he could collectively stick it. Ok, she didn’t go so far, but she did say what I guess were unflattering things about his posse and their gear and faster than you could say Sam not getting into Custo Barcelona, she was dissed. Here’s a bit of an excerpt from her self-inflicted public flogging:

Armani had decided not to invite me to his show and, of course, that was the intent of the letter, once I had read it. He didn’t like the tone of my comments about his January couture show in Paris; specifically, he thought I was “belittling” of his family and friends. I had described their appearance and manner in the moments before the show. It was pretty innocuous stuff.

This isn’t the first time journalists from reputable publications have been left out in the cold. Remember the D & G debacle a couple of seasons back? We were certain that the feud would come to rival the Hatfield & McCoys, somehow they were able to patch things up. We’re certain that envoys will be sent before the next season and all will be forgiven. Now if we can only get our blogger into his show…
