CP 24: Nygard appeals bail ruling.
I literally just read this story! In fact there are so many articles on this man that I spent the past hour reading through them all. I can post links later if anyone wants.
Here's a link to a CBC podcast about Nygard titled "Evil By Design" (clever title).

Here's another thing involving the fashion world that I found not only amusing but also very curious and suspicious: Karl Lagerfeld once played the role of evil villain "Fabu" in the Totally Spies movie released in 2009 (around the time when the Nygard accusations became more public). The premise of the film is such:
"In their first mission as, like, total spies, three newly-befriended teen girls
investigate the disappearances of people across Beverly Hills, uncovering a plot involving trendy makeover machines, a fancy space hotel and global destruction. "
I am aware that this isn't directly related to Nygard but this is quite a serious plot for a childrens show. The abduction and "makeover machine" are what got me thinking of Nygard. People basically being abducted from Beverly Hills and placed into the fashion world as model slaves (I am assuming because I haven't watched the movie).
Sound familiar? How many other designers knew about this? I'm just saying.
As an aside, apparently Karl Lagerfeld once had a comic published in the New Yorker calling Harvey Weinstein a pig. Possibly the plot of "Totally Spies, The Movie" was about Weinstein? Either way, it would appear that Mr. Lagerfeld had his finger on the pulse of something nefarious.
Who is to say that there isn't some kind of crossover between these "Pamper Parties" hosted by Nygard, the recruitment of women to attend these parties and other human rights violations involving the fashion world?
To me, this story about Peter Nygard is just the surface of something much deeper and darker.
