Suzy Menkes Talks Blogger Backlash, the Perils of Fast Fashion, and Getting Flashed by Madonna

by

Last night, Fern Mallis sat down with Suzy Menkes for the latest installment of her “Fashion Icon” series at 92Y.

The noted fashion critic candidly (and sometimes hilarious) addressed everything from catching an upskirt view of Madonna sans underwear at the Met Gala, why she didn’t like Punk: Chaos to Couture, and why she was surprised by the negative response to her controversial “Circus of Fashion” piece.

Did Facial Hair Come Between Trussardi and Its Ex-Creative Director?

Did Facial Hair Come Between Trussardi and Its Ex-Creative Director?

by

Italian luxury brand Trussardi has parted ways with designer Umit Benan, who was appointed creative director in 2011, Business of Fashion is reporting.

You see, it seems the departure was not as amicable as Trussardi’s official statement made it seem–a fact, which Benan has made clear on Twitter.

Scott Sternberg Sent Two Models on a Scavenger Hunt in NYC to Show Off His Fall Menswear Collection for Band of Outsiders and We Tagged Along

by

“This is game control” says Scott Sternberg, his voice rising above the din of 6th avenue traffic passing us while we sit in his bespoke Band of Outsiders studio on wheels, its glass walls giving NYC a look inside the designer’s fall 2013 menswear collection, and into his rarified mind.

Inspired by the notion of urban utopia, maps, globes and architect Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasília, Sternberg is showing his newest menswear collection by sending two models, Matt and Miles, on a scavenger hunt throughout Manhattan.
