Couture Feud Brews Between Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior

Scheduling the couture shows should be a breeze this season, with the absence of Christian Lacroix from the calendar and all. But a little kerfuffle over time slots is brewing! Giorgio Armani was forced to move his Privé show scheduled for next Monday back a whole 90 minutes from 7:30 to 9 p.m., and he's not happy about it. He sent out a note calling the seismic shift in time "unexpected and unjustifiable." Apparently, he had to move his show because Dior changed their time. Armani said Dior's move was "indicative of a lack of respect for other people’s time and labor." Dior is yet to respond with a forcefully worded note of their own. But this is exciting! Two of the best things in the world have collided: couture and drama between famous people.
