01. Fashion did not destroy Galliano
“Fashion, I understand, is a seductive target. It’s hard to resist attacking such a big, glossy, seemingly superficial industry. But please, can we stop?

“You are going to see the most brutal execution of a boxer,” Haye said Monday. “I will absolutely destroy him.” (ESPN)

“I had this week where I thought I might as well end it all now,” he says of the seven days in 2007 in which his marriage ended, he was made redundant from his marketing job at Swedish fashion retailer J. Lindeberg and he broke his leg.” (The Telegraph)
