Dior designer
Steven Robinson dies; heart attack suspected

Steven Robinson, who worked hand in hand with Dior's John Galliano, was found dead in his home in Paris on Wednesday. He was 38.

Sidney Toledano, president and chief executive of Dior, announced the news, according to the International Herald Tribune. Reports, though unconfirmed, cited cardiac arrest as the cause of death.

Robinson joined Galliano's studio in London as an intern in 1988. He was from Norfolk, England, and dedicated his working life to Galliano during the ups and downs of their careers.

Steven Jones, who worked with Robinson last week on Dior's Cruise Collection, told the Herald Tribune that Steven "took John's kernel of an idea and made it reality--he was the huge engine and realizer at Galliano and very important at Dior." (The Advocate)
