Agenda-setting intelligence, analysis and advice for the global fashion community.
At Mugler, Genius and Its Limits (NY Times)
"Mr. Formichetti's show was not a work of genius, but it was a show about genius in the present moment — its limits, its futility. If Paris couture is about history, craft and masters, the new Mugler is about nonspecialists, quick communication and downgrading the role of technique and craft, at least in the heavy, earnest sense."
Carine's Next Step (Vogue UK)
"Carine Roitfeld has finally confirmed her next move post-French Vogue - the former editor is teaming up with Barneys to become the store's guest editor and stylist for autumn/winter 2011-12. Roitfeld will style and edit the American store's advertising campaign (photographed by Mario Sorrenti), catalogue, newsletters, as well as the Madison Avenue windows."
Dolce and Gabbana May Face a Criminal Trial (NY Times)
"Accused of defrauding the Italian revenue agency and failing to pay taxes on more than $1 billion in income, they are expected to be told... whether prosecutors have gathered enough evidence to warrant a criminal trial. So far, the case has generated remarkably little fanfare in Italy, a country where tax evasion is regarded by many people, including some in the fashion world, as a national sport."
A Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor: Fashion Icon (The Cut)
"When it came to style, Elizabeth Taylor was fearless. The diamonds, the hair, the cleavage: She rocked it out everywhere she went. In her younger days, she favored plunging necklines with straps poised to slip off her shoulders, her hair like a dark cloud around her thickly made-up eyes."
F(AA)shion Dialogues (Dazed Digital)
"In this search for fresh approaches some fashion designers developed collaborations with architects... Trying to explore the new possibilities offered by fashion and architecture, the Architectural Association School launched the 'F(AA)shion' workshop, an intensive design-based programme of lectures."
