Not everyone seems to have gotten the memo that Bruce Weber[1] is in the #MeToo doghouse. Or maybe the French just don’t care.
Azzedine Alaïa died last year, but Alaïa the fashion house is hosting a book party June 20 for “Azzedine, Bruce, Joe” at its Paris headquarters.
Weber will be there, according to the invite, as well as stylist Joe McKenna, to sign copies of the 50-euro tome.
The babushka-wearing photographer was accused earlier this year[2] of groping male models and was banned by Condé Nast[3], as were fotogs Mario Testino and Terry Richardson.
All three men have denied the allegations of sexual misconduct made against them.
“With Azzedine gone, there’s no one to take the heat, I suppose,” one fashionista told me. “So why not go for it?”
Reps for Weber and Alaïa didn’t get back to me.
