The New York Post is reporting that disgraced former designer John Galliano was seen at a birthday party for DJ Jeremy Healy in London, and that his presence “caused quite a flutter in the room.” Says a source: “John was quiet and reserved, he was sober and very demure, but there to support his friend.” New York magazine sees this as perhaps the first step in Galliano’s gradual reintegration into the world. “The fashion industry’s horror at his behavior has waned at this point,” they point out, “and he’s surely received some invitations to European shows.” So when major publications are floating the idea of a comeback out there, consider yourself warned. It’s already a fait accompli.
