The Fashion Design Council of Canada announced today that Robin Kay, the president, will not be fired. After making a drunken speech almost two weeks ago at Toronto Fashion Week, the Council met and decided to keep her. This, after l'Oreal, the main sponsor of the event pulled out.The chair, Joseph Mimran, stated that l'Oreal being replaced by LG had nothing to do with Kay's behaviour. Interesting. Do major sponsors usually drop out of large events for no reason? I was under the impression that this wasn't a common practice, clearly I was wrong.
Joseph Mimran's statements beg the question: How can you distance yourself from such a mess up when you make no effort to other than let time pass by? The answer is that you can't. The FDCC is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, instead they're doing drunken clean up.
