In the wake of the Galliano scandal, which past fashion controversy was most fascinating to you?
@the_alison Cocaine Kate. Not the act, the response. Insiders & friends closed ranks; the press tried — and failed — to take her down.
@PoppyD Surely the day that Daniella Westbrook was papped in head to toe Burberry Nova check deserves a special mention.
@MonikaErl Tom Ford vs Gucci.
@icone_du_jour Size Zero models banned from the runways. Super skinny girls left out in the cold for a couple of seasons.

@yarnpr0n The 80s. Because as everyone knows, when you walk away without making sure a monster is dead, it always reanimates.
@bethfullagar Hussein Chalayan S/S 07 finale piece where the dress disappeared into the hat leaving the model naked ... poor girl!
