Why Should This Guy Dictate Fashion?

It has always amazed me who dictates fashion. I mean, look at this picture from a news story of British fashion designer John Galliano. Let's recreate the story: Obviously he was interrupted from his work as a school lunch lady as is evident from his hair net. Apparently, he had gone to work after a veterans award banquet or some such as indicated by the medal he wears on his vest (complete with pocket-watch, but sans shirt beneath). Being a lovely day, he decides the kids would like to eat under the big oak outside of the cafeteria, so he dons his hat and coat, as he is not wearing a shirt under his vest, grabs the rake to clean up the leaves, and at this point is struck by the aesthetic yet utilitarian value of the rake.

Or he's just a weirdo!
