The cover of this morning's Post is a photo of John Galliano, wearing an outfit the paper says "stunned New York's Jewish leaders." The article states that Galliano was "dressing like a Hasid to attend pal Oscar de la Renta's Fashion Week show," and includes angry quotes from Williamsburg community leader Isaac Abraham and Brooklyn assemblyman Dov Hikind. However, The Cut points out that the look is a repeat: "The exaggerated bowler hat, baggy cropped pants, and long jacket are such well-known components of his uniform that Bill Gaytten, Galliano's successor at his namesake line, modeled an entire menswear collection on them for spring 2012."
