One of the best parts about having a blog is you get to break news at 3 am.

Here’s today’s, though of course we’ve got to classify it as a “rumor” since we can’t call Jonathan’s studio and say “Hey, can you confirm…”

It’s Sunday; they’re sleepy.

Anyway, a stylist told us an hour ago that Jonathan Saunders will indeed move to New York this February and show his latest collection - something everyone speculated when he appeared last week to host a dinner at The Inn on Little West 12th. Mr. Saunders follows Preen, whose Fall ‘07 collection was so sharply great, it was actually worth the hour-long wait in Soho to see it.

And make no mistake: Jonathan Saunders is just as good, his clothes will make New York that much better, and we’re psyched.

Hopefully a real confirmation on Monday, but until then, back to bed.
