Adventures in Copyright: Barnes & Noble Spring 09

Someone at Barnes and Noble is a very big Louis Vuitton fan. In fact, they’re such big fans that they’ve been waiting for almost four years to copy Louis Vuitton’s Resort 05 Globe Shopper Cabas tote bag. The bookstore calls their khaki and forest green canvas version “The World’s Best Bookbag,” which is a more [...]

Quote of the Day

“When the economy changes, it’s not like you want to start eating bad-tasting chocolate.” – Olivier Theyskens, after showing his pre-fall collection (which includes a newly expanded accessories line – think bags between $1800 and $2500, and one for $25000), to WWD.

Pixie for AP, Too

We somehow missed this over the weekend: Pixie Geldof has followed in the footsteps of big sis Peaches, and added modeling for Agent Provocateur to her resume which, as far as we know, consists only of modeling for Pringle of Scotland alongside Daisy Lowe (another former AP girl) and Lydia Hearst. Pixie plays a virgin, [...]

No Alexander Wang After-Party

Another Fashion Week / Econ casualty: Alexander Wang will not be hosting his crush of an after-party after his show at the Roseland Ballroom on Valentine’s Day (same day as Swaim and Christina Hutson’s new line debuts), which lets him off the hook from topping that surprise Foxy Brown performance from Spring 09. In the [...]

Purple Magazine Closes New York Office

Remember back in May when Purple quietly started opening their New York office? Well, just as quietly it seems, the office closed. The stateside outpost of the beloved French magazine closed back in November, no doubt due to the crappy economic conditions. Hopefully, this doesn’t necessarily mean Purple itself is in danger of closing. Stay [...]

She talked about how fashion used to be her life but now function’s more important and while she’ll always have a place [...]

Sass & Bide Drops Out of Fashion Week

Last year, Sass & Bide dropped out of New York Spring 09 Fashion Week to focus on new projects. They fully intended on returning to Bryant Park’s tents with their Fall 09 collection next month, but now they’re dropping out again, this time due to designer Sarah Jane Clarke’s third pregnancy. Maybe pregnancy, maybe economy, [...]
