Purple In 3-D
Since unveiling BLK DNM a year ago, fashion world journeyman Johan Lindeberg has kept the content coming. Yesterday, he celebrated the brand’s inaugural anniversary by having Olivier Zahm put up an installation in Lindeberg’s Lafayette Street headquarters, turning the place from a store into a creative cornucopia: an Aaron Young video in the window, Olaf [...]
The New Chambre Maids (And Men), David Gandy: The Book, Fly The Standard Skies, And More…
France’s Chambre Syndicale, the body that organizes Paris’ fashion shows, has announced its newest members and associates. Congrats to Azzaro, Carven, Damir Doma, Felipe Oliveira Baptista, Thimister, Véronique Leroy, and American (sometimes) in Paris Zac Posen. [WWD]Dolce & Gabbana have found their ideal poster boy (literally) in David Gandy, who’s starred in many of the [...]
Too-Fast Fashion, Courthouse Couture, Karl And Rachel Scream For Ice Cream, And More…
Alaïa speaks! The reclusive designer spared a word or two when he showed a few Fall looks to a gathered mass in Paris. Here’s what he had to say of fashion’s frantic pace: “It’s inhumane…too many collections; too much pressure.” [WWD]The Times takes on a controversial topic: the dress code of the court appearance. Lindsay [...]
Muse’s Manifesto, Formichetti’s Inspiration, Assessing The Royal Accessories, And More…
Paris fashion week is upon us, which means a new YSL Manifesto—and Manifesto tote—is in the offing. This season’s iteration features the label’s current campaign star, the unstoppable Miss Arizona Muse. [T]The first Nicola Formichetti-helmed women’s collection for Mugler is on its way, too. The stylist-turned-creative director has been leaking inspiration shots on his blog [...]
Calvin Shocks Australia, Anna Does Pop, And More…
If a Calvin Klein ad isn’t banned, does anybody see it? That age-old marketing adage was trotted out in Australia, where Lara Stone’s newest jeans ad for the label has been deemed uncouth by the Advertising Standards Bureau. [NY Mag]Anna Dello Russo’s eponymous fragrance is set to launch on Yoox.com in December, but we’re more [...]
Mad For Morgendorfer, Coco In Corsica, Don’t Count Out LiLo , And More…
One worth reading from the archives: WWD’s back-in-the-day interview with, uh, Daria Morgendorffer. The animated misanthrope talked fashion with the daily, including the message behind her ever-present boots (they say, “I can kick you”). [WWD]Coco Rocha went on a fabulous honeymoon in Corsica (which, for the record, she’d never heard of), and all we got [...]
Olivier Theyskens Wants To Design For His Friends, Lindsay Wants Karl To Design For Her Ankle, And More…
Batman comics aren’t usually stocked alongside fashion mags, but that doesn’t mean they’re not pretty stylish all the same. (Catwoman totally beat nineties Gucci to sex and skintight leather, after all.) And on Monday at Colette, Sarah Lerfel and crew roll out a collection of pieces inspired by Batman, Catwoman, and their DC Comics stablemates [...]
A Film From David Lynch, Bags From Lindsay Lohan, A New Name At Aquascutum, And More…
David Lynch’s film for Dior, Lady Blue Shanghai, screened at the label’s cruise collection show. If you missed it there and want to see Marion Cotillard fretting (pictured), having a spectral love affair, and reciting a poem, the full 16-minute video is now up at LadyDior.com.
Following the departure of Graeme Fidler and Michael Herz [...]
A Taste Of Home For Les Newyorkais
Revelers who made it through the queue in the freezing cold, down four flights of stairs, and into the classic Parisian night spot Le Regine last night had some serious celebrating to do. “We’ve been working hard,” said Opening Ceremony’s Humberto Leon, one of the party’s co-hosts, of his crew’s rigorous fashion week. “Tonight we’re [...]
Yea, Nay, Or Eh? Harem Apparent
Lindsay Lohan’s scarcely appeared during Milan fashion week—no big shock, considering the drubbing the fashion press gave her Ungaro collection—but she did make it to Roberto Cavalli’s show and, of course, after-party last night. In her Cavalli sequined harem pants and Dolce & Gabbana fur vest, Lohan feels a bit like a blast from the [...]
