She’s the woman responsible for the brilliant plastic, paper chain necklaces on Louis Vuitton’s AW09 runway.

After stints at Alaia and Chanel, she worked in Louis’ PR department right when Marc took over as Creative Director before working her way to the head of costume jewelry collections, a post she’s held since 2003.

But today, WWD announces she’s moving to Dior in October rounding out Bernard Arnault’s all-star cast of John Galliano, Kris Van Assche, and Victoire de Castellane.

While she and Galliano obviously share a funky aesthetic, it’s quite different and it’ll be exciting to see what she whips up for AW10 in such a different environment.

Just in time for the long weekend, the latest issue of WWWWD has arrived to amuse us all. As always we have more than a few favorite moments including but certainly not limited to:

—A timeline of manhood that includes Three Men and a Baby, Tom Brady, Paula Poundstone, Dante, and Lil Bow Wow. Enough said.

—LVMH entering the beer market with a gold-canned brand called Laissez-Faire. Possible face of the brand Jade Jagger loves the idea: “Laissez-Faire combines my two main interests - gold French stuff and beer - into one fabulous thing that will get me wasted.”

—Kris Van Assche feeling homesick for himself. But luckily he welcomes himself back with open arms.

—Fashion lovelies reveal what they love in a guy. Grace Coddington’s made me spit out my morning Diet Coke.

—Mert & Marcus want nothing to do with Shia LeBeouf’s package. Quite frankly, neither do we.

Happy Reading!

Everyone’s wondering why Delphine Arnault - Bernard’s daughter - was front row at Gareth Pugh this week, sparking rumors that LVMH is gearing up to add the young designer to their luxury constellation.

So here’s the other part to that rumor:

We hear that not only has Gareth already joined LVMH, but he’s set to do so as Kris Van Assche’s replacement at Dior Homme (no word on where KVA will go).

And we’ll all read about it very soon - Vogue Nippon has a piece coming out soon that details the move.

Morning!

A little fashion spy in LA tells us that Dior Homme is trying to get Hedi Slimane back into place.

According to them, Kris Van Assche is feeling the same corporate bullshit that Hedi felt and has had it with the whole thing.

Meanwhile, Dior itself is realizing that perhaps the reason Dior Homme was so lucrative under Hedi was because he was awesome, not because they tried hard to micromanage him.

So… is Hedi going back into negotiations with Dior Homme?

Or are there rocks in our head for suggesting it?

With 70s styles emerging as the go-to look for stylish boys this fall, we’re starting to wonder if the male turtleneck - that staple of 1970s American college campus style - is also going to make a comeback.

We love the way girls are layering shrunken turtlenecks under dresses and jumpers this fall, but is this a piece of clothing with gender cross-over appeal?

Turtleneck sweaters have never disappeared from the pages of J.Crew and L.L. Bean catalogs, and Ralph Lauren loves to put male models in chunky knit turtlenecks. More recently, we spotted turtle styles on the boys on Versace’s Fall 07 runway.

But will hip city boys embrace the preppy, slightly professorial style of the turtleneck? And perhaps more importantly, should they?

—ALISON COOL

The Times Style section has an amusing article on an item that, embarrassingly enough, I’d been thinking about for the last few weeks: the fanny pack.

The universally mocked “bag” usually equals lame tourist, but it’s now being reinvented by some very not-lame (unlame?) designers.

Kris Van Assche (newly of Dior Homme) has a day-glow “waist packâ€? that is quite reminiscent of the hot pink one I had circa 1990, though for some reason, it looks leaps and bounds cooler. Not that I wasn’t a pretty awesome six year old…

Meanwhile, Alice Roy’s design is inspired by a coin purse.

But the one that I’m thisclose to requesting as an early birthday present is Philip Lim’s envelope pouch, with black piping.

Of course, there’s always the old Louis Vuitton fanny pack that my friends wore junior year of college. The memory had me almost bidding for one on eBay…

But in the case of a ’90s trend that’s slowly creeping back, does an eBay sighting mean it’s vintage, or just very outdated?
