H&M signs Sonia Rykiel (Drapers)
"Swedish clothing chain H&M has signed French fashion veteran Sonia Rykiel to design a range of lingerie and related accessories to be launched on December 5."

Job Wanted -- and Pay Would Be Nice (New York Times)
"Many of Britain's most successful brands may be rich in creativity, but they are poor in revenue. So when a collection appears on the catwalk, often those remarkable clothes are created, at least in part, by unpaid interns."

Fashion chain New Look models idea of flotation (Guardian)
"High street fashion chain New Look is expected to trigger a rush of flotations on the London Stock Exchange after it emerged the private equity-owned retailer has held talks over a possible £1.7bn listing before the end of the year."

When artists meet designers (FT)
"When Zac Posen was asked why New York artist Rosson Crow was interested in collaborating on his recent spring/summer 2010 collection, the designer observed: 'Throughout history fine artists have been funded by the greatest luxury brand of them all: Christianity.' Why, he asked, in today's more secular climate, should anyone be surprised they have simply moved on from a religious brand to fashion brands?"

The role of the muse in fashion (FT)
"What is a fashion muse? An amazing meteor that holds the eye and seduces for a second before vanishing? Or something more? Thanks to the cult of celebrity, we have become confused between names we know,such as Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss and Yasmin Le Bon, and the real muses of the fashion pantheon. Behind every great creator there is a muse in the shadows, but they have never been given the attention they deserve."
