Giles Deacon Out At Ungaro
Giles Deacon’s Emanuel Ungaro Spring 2012 collection, set to show at Salle Wagram on October 3, will be his last for the label. Today, WWD reports that Deacon and Ungaro have “mutually decided” to end working together. As for who will take the reigns next at Ungaro, we don’t know yet. Let the guessing [...]
Models In The Aisles, Jane Again,
Ralph Lauren’s Return To TV, And More…
Is Naomi Campbell set to help Kate Moss down the aisle? In a new interview (with, admittedly, one of the U.K.’s most incorrigible tabloids), the supe won’t say she’s Kate’s bridesmaid—but she won’t say she’s not, either. Developing! [Vogue U.K.]And speaking of weddings, model Lily Aldridge and Kings of Leon rocker Caleb Followill tied the [...]
Are You Ready For Chokers?
It’s time to put away those dangling pendants and dainty chains. For Fall, designers are hot under their collars for fierce, face-framing choker necklaces. Whether they came with door knocker-sized ornaments like Lanvin’s, Wilma Flintstone-esque pebbled jewels à la Bottega Veneta, or in fetish-y leather as they did at Emanuel Ungaro, it was all about [...]
The Anna Effect?
There were plenty of eyes on Giles Deacon for his first presentation for the slightly shaky house of Ungaro, and the designer made sure there was plenty for those eyes to feast on—not only the clothes (a qualified TKO, says Tim Blanks), but the models, too. Casting has emerged as one of the big stories [...]
Carine Thinks You’re Pretty Vain, No Brights At Ungaro, Where Björk Met McQueen, And More…
In advance of Paris Vogue’s 90th anniversary party tonight, Eric Wilson sits down with editrix Carine Roitfeld for a chat. The whole thing’s worth reading, for Carine’s thoughts on what is and isn’t Vogue and who’s on next, but forgive us if we’re most interested in her dream of opening a karaoke bar. Her song [...]
Rodarte In The Museum, Stella In The Olympics, Giles Back In London, And More…
LACMA called upon the Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte to contribute drawings inspired by works in its permanent collection to a new exhibition, Cell Phone Stories. (There’s one pictured, left.) Also contributing: Rainn Wilson, a.k.a. Dwight from The Office. We feel confident that this will be the last time we speak of a collaboration between Rodarte [...]
Giles Deacon Talks Taking The Reins At Ungaro
Toss the name Emanuel Ungaro into a fashion conversation of late and there’s no chance it’s Emanuel himself who’ll come to mind. The house that the Balenciaga-trained couturier built has had a spiraling stream of tenants, culminating in the chaos and confusion of LiLo’s mercifully brief occupancy. The debacle-riddled label’s appointment of Giles Deacon as [...]
Deacon To Ungaro, Hamm And Hall To W, Ronson Takes The Wheel, And More…
As expected, Giles Deacon (pictured) has been named creative director at Emanuel Ungaro. Let’s just pretend the Lindsay years never happened. [Vogue U.K.]August will be Stefano Tonchi’s first issue at W. For his first cover? A twofer, Jon Hamm and Rebecca Hall (co-stars in the new Ben Affleck movie The Town). W: the new, edgy [...]
Matthew Williamson Thinks Pink, Louis Vuitton Goes Green, And More…
Vodka-inspired fashion may sound like a terrible idea, but leave it to Matthew Williamson to make even the slightly soused look chic. His new pink caftan (pictured) is inspired by Belvedere’s new pink grapefruit flavor. [WWD]Congratulations to Marc Jacobs president Robert Duffy, who married his partner, Alexis Cespedes, last week and nabbed that most coveted [...]
Smells Like Dree Spirit, Uniqlo Hits Fifth, And More…
Was this the face that launched a thousand ships? Ferragamo’s just hoping it’s the face that’ll move a couple thousand bottles. The label has just announced that Dree Hemingway will be the face of its upcoming fragrance, to be shot by Craig McDean. [Modelinia]Midtown Manhattan just got a little more dangerous—for us, at least: Uniqlo [...]
