Gookie by Gookie, Versace Cuts, and More…

 
Gucci (or is it Gookie?) spokesmodel James Franco takes his job very seriously. Filming the brand’s fragrance commercial reduced him to tears. Watch the clip. [Funny or Die, WWD]

Riccardo Tisci Surprises Fans At Barneys’ Givenchy Trunk Show

It’s a good thing Riccardo Tisci wears comfortable shoes. The Givenchy designer made a guerrilla appearance at Barneys New York yesterday, fresh off the plane from Rio and sneaker-shod, the better to keep up his sprinting pace on projects. To wit: Just after sending out his lauded Spring ‘10 womenswear collection in Paris, Tisci got [...]

A Case of Stripey Synchronicity

It’s safe to say that designer Suwha Hong doesn’t have much in common with Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci. The London-based Hong practiced corporate law prior to launching her eponymous collection of modern millinery and gamine, tailored outerwear. Tisci, well, he’s the guy who was making tour costumes for Michael Jackson before he died, among [...]

Who made our Top Ten list for Spring? Designers with a point of view: Nicolas Ghesquière at Balenciaga, who went back to his haute street roots. Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, who made fashion fun again, and sent out some fabulously crafty clothes in the process. Celine’s Phoebe Philo, for her fearless new brand of contemporary [...]

Reconsidering The Pantsuit

As far as I can tell, the evolution of pants over the past couple years seems to have gone something like this: skinny, very skinny, legging-like, leggings, and then, of course, to utter extinction, with no pants at all. But like death and taxes, you can also rely on the fashion pendulum’s reverse swing. This [...]

Balenciaga’s Secret: Yes, That’s Miranda Kerr

Who doesn’t love a bit of a casting surprise to add yet another layer of excitement to a show? If yesterday at Balenciaga is any evidence, tossing a bodacious Victoria’s Secret girl into the lean and edgy model mix is on its way to becoming a thing. I had heard through the tweet-vine that Miranda [...]

Frankie Rayder Takes A Turn

Is Alexander Wang a magnet for supes? The likes of Trish Goff, Tasha Tilberg, and Natasa Vojnovic stepped out for his Fall ‘09 show, and we hear that the designer has nabbed Frankie Rayder for his Spring ‘10 performance this Saturday. With the exception of appearances at Michael Kors last season and Givenchy a year [...]

What They’ll Be Wearing in Charlotte This Fall

If you’re a fashion diehard based below the Mason-Dixon, chances are your go-to boutique is Capitol, Laura Vinroot Poole’s ten-year-old Charlotte institution. She specializes in cherry-picking key pieces from the season’s top collections. For Fall, think Balmain jackets, Dries Van Noten’s brightly hued separates, and dramatic gowns from Olivier Theyskens’ final season at Nina Ricci. [...]

Uma For Givenchy, Mad Men’s Women, And More…

Uma Thurman joins Justin Timberlake as a Givenchy fragrance rep, although, sadly, not in the same ads. That would be awesome. [WWD]
Of course Mad Men is written by women who brainstorm over homemade guacamole and pitchers of mojitos. We are so not surprised. [WSJ]

Blasblog From Paris: Backstage Bubbles

I know a few women who say they prefer couture to ready-to-wear because of the lack of frenzy and excitement. But really, it’s all about the alcohol and free food. Back on Monday, Dior invited guests downstairs into John Galliano’s mirrored studio under the salon where he had just debuted his collection. Marion Cotillard hovered [...]
