Hermes Spring 2011: Au Revoir, Jean Paul
PARIS–Yesterday, Jean Paul Gaultier galloped away from Hermès in style. After seven years of loyal services, he announced last May that he was leaving. And last night, the whole fashion sphere gathered in the industrial space of La Halle Freyssinet to watch his final bow.
The Spring 2011 collection accurately reflected the essence of the Gaultier-Hermès collaboration: bondage meets horseback riding, provocation meets tradition–and, as always, admirable tailoring, JP style

Miu Miu Spring 2011: The Starry Finale
PARIS–It was the end of it all. And it was good.
Miu Miu finished off Paris Fashion Week and global Fashion Month, and was the last show I’ll see until February. (Unless, of course, some designers get extravagant for Pre-Fall….)
It was young (see the starry prints and popsicle colors) it was forward (consider the boxy cut of the leather jackets) and it was pretty (appreciate the red satin dress). There was some ’70s, some ’40s. But above all, there was modernity.

It finally happened. First JWoww, then Sammi, and now Snooki has finally professed her ambitions to be a designer.
“I wanna be a clothing designer, hair designer,” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi told OK!. She also said she wanted to have “you know, four guido/guidette babies” but that is beside the point.
Bring on the rhinestone encrusted sunglasses, the matted bunny slippers and Snooki-branded bumpits! Though lately, Snooki’s style seems to getting a bit tamer (her hemlines haven’t dropped, thank goodness). She’s toned down the poof in favor of bangs and a sleeker less-sprayed mane. And at her latest appearance at the FantaSea Yacht Club in Marina del Rey for the launch of some beauty product called “Beautiful Eyes” (it was classy event, Aubrey O’Day was there), she looked the part in an enormous polo match-style hat that she nearly disappeared under.

Rumor Mill: Stefano Pilati is Out at YSL?
Rumors swirl season upon season that Stefano Pilati is done at Yves Saint Laurent. Pilati replaced Tom Ford in the mid-aughts, and while some of his collections have been lauded, others have been slammed. What’s more, Pilati is known for being a pain-in-the-rear. He’s a party boy, and he doesn’t like playing nice.
Now the New York Post, via Fashion Wire Daily, reports that Spring 2011 might really, truly, be the end of the road for Pilati. But the collection was undeniably strong. And the shoes will certainly be a best-seller. So we think he still has more time.
However, if Pilati is leaving, who will succeed him?

Fashion News Roundup
Fashion News Roundup: Gap Tries To Fix What’s Not Broken, Uniqlo’s J+ Hits Stores, and Christina Hendricks Thinks Karen Elson Copied Her Look
Gap Tries To Fix What’s Not Broken: Yesterday, Gap dropped its iconic logo that almost everyone and their mother could recognize for a Helvetica font logo with a weird blue square behind it. Brand Channel has some strong words on the change: “Ditching the classic logo, recognized by everyone, in favor of whatever that new monstrosity is, demonstrates a prototypical brand panic move…Ironically maybe, the new logo is perfect for the brand. It communicates exactly the values currently embodied by Gap: A sense of being lost and a lack of clear vision and creativity.” Ouch. {Brand Channel}
Jil Sander for Uniqlo: Uniqlo’s J+ collaboration hits stores today. Racked NY was on the scene and the hot ticket is the outerwear. {Racked NY}
Christina Hendricks Thinks Karen Elson’s a Copycat: Harper’s Bazaar covergirl Christina Hendricks claims she’s responsible for Elson’s red locks as well as her success. “I was in Milan, and you would see the same girls at castings. There was one girl—she was like, ‘I can’t get any work. I’m so sick of this, I’m ready to quit. I love your hair color. What do you color your hair with?’ and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s red. Here’s my formula.’ It was Karen Elson. A couple of weeks later, she had bright-red hair…Sorry, Karen, but you did ask about my hair color. Then I saw her on the cover of Italian Vogue, and the rest is history!” {Harper’s Bazaar}

PARIS–Another thing about Marc Jacobs: No season is the same. Sure, there are underlying themes that may move from spring to fall, or fall to spring, but in general, you have no idea what to expect when the first model steps onto the runway.
