That was designer Alannah Hill's claim today when she showed off her wares at the David Jones department store in the spring / summer fashion collection.This was following the announcement that former DJ's publicist Kristy Fraser-Kirk's has launched a $37million lawsuit against the firm following allegations the CEO Mark McInnes "touched her up".
It's the largest claim of it's kind and Fraser-Kirk is asking for 5% of DJ's takings and of McInne's wages during his tenure as boss. She says she will donate the money to charity. Good luck!
This morning's parade at the Sydney flagship store was pretty well packed despite the absence of DJ's mascot model Miranda Kerr who is recovering from her honeymoon after wedding Orlando Bloom.

She twittered the troops at DJ's at lunchtime :"Hey
guys,
Thank you so much for chatting with me today. I hope you all have the
most amazing day and night."
Alannah says of McInnes: " I threw myself at him. He told me he didn't want
to mix business with pleasure." Yeah, sure.
Kristy Fraser-Kirk says McInnes phoned her one night wanting to have dinner with her and said he could have had sex with a brunette the night before.
"Yes I was the brunette, yes, yes I was the brunette," Hill said."He
could have bedded me but he chose the other one. He is dreamy". Ahhh..sounds just like she was dreaming .
Meanwhile as we blog, CH 9's Today Tonight show is screening some ham fisted replies after they interviewed a host of designers at the parade today on the controversy. 2 hapless PR people unsuccessfully tried to snatch a newspaper that ran a headline on the matter out of the reporter's hands .Go to the website and watch the video at the right titled "David Jones Backlash". Why didn't they prep these PR folk beforehand ?. Didn't people like Megan Gale and designer Alex Perry realise the press was out in force and they would be asked difficult questions ?
