Patricia Field, who created the costumes for Sex and the City and the US remake of Yo soy Betty, la fea, Ugly Betty, has posted a message on her Facebook page, seemingly in defence of John Galliano.
Field titled her post, ‘In praise of John Galliano’, and wrote, ‘Beauty, intelligence and energy would describe John as I know him. / Where in this trilogy could one find hate?
‘I ask you!
‘My second question is … What exactly did he say?
‘And the third is … / What is really going on here??’
The comments on her Facebook page were largely negative though a few agreed with Field’s point of view.
Field later clarified her statement to Women’s Wear Daily, saying that the video shown on The Sun’s website was nothing more than a ‘farce’.
‘John lives in theater. It’s theater,’ the publication reported Field saying.
‘But people in fashion don’t recognize the farce in it … But it’s OK when it’s Mel Brooks’ The Producers singing “Springtime for Hitler”.’
Field points out her stepfather is Jewish.
