Stefano Pilati, Jean Paul Gaultier, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, Riccardo Tisci, Jason Wu, Nicolas Chesquiere, Erdem, Hermes and even Carine Roitfeld were named as the new John Galliano for Christian Dior. Who will it be?!? People even bet on it!
Actress and rockchick Taylor Momsen is the face of John Galliano’s new fragrance ‘Parlez moi d’Amour’. The video was directed by Ellen von Unwerth, and Taylor sings the song that accompanies this goth-romantic visual (for those of you who don’t know, Taylor has her own band ‘The Pretty Reckless’ and…
“I think Christian Dior without Galliano would be a pity. I wasn’t here, you weren’t there, nobody was here….I don’t want to judge people without knowing what really happened. I don’t think it’s terrible for the fashion world, it’s terrible for human being. I don’t care about the fashion world at all.”
Franca Sozzani about the recent allegations of John Galliano insulting two Jewish women with antiSemitic remarks. Check out this video of The Telegraph were Hilary Alexander asks the Italian editor in chief about the news around the fallen Dior designer.
Digi K with Alexis Mabille and the Cointreau bottle
Luckily our mothers forgave us that we couldn’t stay for dinner on Mother’s Day. But, we had a good reason: an evening with the French designer Alexis Mabille to celebrate the launch of the new limited edition Cointreau bottle. Designed by the master himself.
It’s news we have been waiting for a long time. Shoebaloo is one of the most popular shops for shoes in the Netherlands. Before we came across the lovely webshops where we are able to buy designer-accessories, there was Shoebaloo. It’s where Digi K bought her first pair of designer shoes from Gucci. And now- finally- Shoebaloo is going online.
Starting December to be exact. Here is an overview of the brands that will be available in their online shoe- and accessory heaven:
CEO Sydney Toledano spoke to the audience before the Christian Dior runway show started during Paris Fashion Week. He spoke about the crisis around the fashion house after the arrest of John Galliano insulting two Jewish women with anti-Semitic remarks. Check out Syndey’s speech in here.
“I’m furious that it could happen. Because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this. This is what makes me crazy…
Always wanted to take a peek in a fashion designer’s sketchbook? Hywel Davies (lecturer at Central Saint Martin) did it: he collected sketches, photographs and mood boards from designers like Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano and Matthew Williamson.
It helps designers to have a sort of fairy godmother. Alexander Wang can count on Diane von Furstenberg as a mentor. And remember John Galliano in his early days? He had Anna Wintour in his corner. Now Anna proceeds in her role of monitoring and supporting talented young designers. As we could see in the September Issue, she was very involved in the work of designer Thakoon, and now she has another protégé: Joseph Altuzarra.
Aside from our reports about the MBFWA, we hereby want to share some videos of shows that are worth having a look at.
