I was reading an article about what a fashion academician called Harmeet Bajaj said about Anand Jon. She was saying that his designs were no good, and by his design talent alone, he could not have got any publicity. She is doubting his designing talent. I am copy pasting that article below:
Anand Jon’s talent could have never got him any publicity
Anand Jon Alexander was sentenced to a minimum of 59 years of imprisonment in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday. The 35-year-old, who has dressed Paris Hilton and Janet Jackson, was found guilty of 14 counts, including rape, sexual battery, and performing lewd acts on a child.
Though his family has been rallying to get the Indian government to intervene in the designer’s case, the designer has few friends in the fashion fraternity. His name merely sparks minor recognition among the champagne set in New Delhi.
Harmeet Bajaj, CEO of Bian, says, “I had done a show with him in New York. Though I didn’t know him much, he was quite friendly and interactive with the guests. I only spoke to him on professional grounds. As a designer, I don’t think he was any good. Nothing about his clothes or his personality was striking or impressive. His garments were a cheap version of Indian fusion wear, which he tried to pass off to the West. His talent could have never got him any publicity.”
Rohit Bal, who was among those rallying for Jon, under the leadership of his sister Sanjana, said, “I met Anand a couple of times in New York; this was in the ‘80s. In the beginning of his career, he was a young, sweet lad - very approachable and friendly. I have not had the chance to judge his designing sensibilities.”
