1. John Galliano stars in Gallianogate
John Galliano‘s downfall has loomed large all year, particularly since Christian Dior has yet to announce his replacement, despite a neverending back-and-forth with a stubborn Marc Jacobs. Following a stint in rehab, a guilty conviction in Paris for making anti-Semitic remarks, and the general destruction of his reputation, Galliano at least had one bright spot this year: designing good friend Kate Moss‘ wedding dress. Galliano’s dismissal also raised questions about the stress designers are under to deliver multiple collections a year — just ask Balmain’s Christophe Decarnin. Everyone’s still waiting to see who Dior picks to take the throne and if Galliano can make a comeback after such a devastating fall.
As 2011 comes to a close, 2012 has the promise of even more scandals, breakdowns and breakthroughs that we cannot wait to cover obsessively for you. If we missed any epic moments or if you’re particularly incensed over Lindsay Lohan‘s Playboy spread not making the list, leave a comment below.

Story by Lester Brathwaite
I was center square from 1969 to 1978, during which I perfected the art of the zing as well as a crippling cocaine addiction. Bea Arthur was responsible for both.
