On fashion week drinking :
“I would use it to crash after the collections. I’d take a couple of days to get over it, like everyone. But with more collections, the crash happened more often, and then I was a slave to it. Then the pills kicked in because I couldn’t sleep. Then the other pills kicked in because I couldn’t stop shaking. I would also have these huge bottles of liquor that people got for me. Towards the end, it was whatever I could get my hands on.”
On being in denial :
“I did manage to stop the voices. I had all these voices in my head, asking so many questions, but I never for one second would admit I was an alcoholic. I thought I could control it.”
“Not having washed, I’d be covered in sores and humiliated.”
On being dependent :
“I would be backstage and there would be a queue of five people to help me. One person would have a cigarette for me. The next person would have the lighter. I did not know how to use the A.T.M.”
On finding out what he had said :
“When everyone came over to tell me that I had done these terrible things, I was walking round and round and round not really knowing what had gone down. My assistant told me about the video. When I saw it, I threw up. The feeling was like I was about to take a step out onto the street and a bus or truck whooshed past me and the blood was drained from my legs. I was paralyzed from the fear.”
On designing Kate Moss wedding dress :
“Creating Kate’s wedding dress saved me personally because it was my creative rehab. She dared me to be me again.”
Sounds like this could be one almighty raw read.......In my opinion - I think he has done his time. To be fair, the man admitted a huge drink problem, got help, got fired and stayed quiet. He has done a lot of soul searching from the sounds of it. It's just said that fashion has turned its back on a talented person. He knows what he did was wrong and has apologised and has his apology accepted by the Jewish community.
I think its time fashion moved on and forgave.
