Welcome back to Madonna Monday. In 1995, Madonna was a presenter at the MTV Video Music Awards. The outfit she chose was Gucci from head to toe. Gucci, the 70+ year fashion house, was under considerable strain until they brought on Texas native Tom Ford in 1994. Gucci needed something fresh and something new. Tom ford's designs were innovative, daring and hot. Celebs were beginning to take notice. Enter Madonna. Tom Ford once said that he was quite grateful to Madonna for appearing in all Gucci that night because it brought increased credibility, focus and support that was much needed to the Italian couture house in which he recently became the creative director. After her appearance that night, Hollywood was back on the Gucci bandwagon and so were we. After Madonna's appearance on the show, she had a post show interview with Kurt Loder. There was only room at the post show for one diva. The obviously intoxicated Courtney Love thought she should be that diva. Courtney bombarded Madonna's interview and well...the usually in control Madge had to make due with a ruined interview and some Q and A that she had not expected. Even if Madonna was looking flawless and fashionable that night, it wasn't her appearance on the show that had people talking in the days (and years!) to come. Thanks to Courtney, it was the appearance after the show that took the cake.
