With Azzedine Alaïa, the fashion stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, and John Galliano. “Azzedine became Farida’s godfather, so I knew him really well, and I’ve known John since forever.” For all their mutual admiration, and many shared nights out once upon a time, Galliano and Louboutin have never collaborated.

Long before the 2020 Golden Globes even began, there was already drama.No, the drama had nothing to do with who was set to win an award. In fact, it had nothing to do with a nominee at all.
