Fashion House Musical Chairs: A Visual Guide
Usually, it’s editorial shakeups that get us all confused and inspire us to create befuddling charts and guides to recap and (at least attempt to) make sense of movement within the fashion industry. Lately, however, it seems that most of the movement is taking place at big fashion houses. Whether it’s the economy or designers getting burnt-out, it seems like a top level position opens (or gets filled) every week.
From Galliano’s exit from Dior to Marios Schwab’s from Halston (which happened so recently we didn’t have a chance to include it), here’s our little visual guide to the recent ins and outs at major fashion houses.

My Latest Obsession: Blush Tones
Maybe it’s my love for all things ballet that burned Chloe’s spring 2011 collection into my brain. My favorite looks? Those gorgeous dusty rose and blush-toned gauzy pleated skirts with tight bandage tops or leotard-tight long sleeved tops in creams and nudes. All paired with ballet flats that are dead wringers for the Capezios I Read more →

Fashion News Roundup: Chanel Employees Don’t Love Blake Lively, a Fake Gaga Causes a Stir in Miami, and Alexander Wang Does Menswear
Christie’s to Auction Off Elizabeth Taylor’s Precious Gems: A date for the auction has not been confirmed, but expect a treasure trove of jewels that is said to be worth over $150 million. {People StyleWatch}
The Puffer Coat–From Sleeping Bag to Fab: We can’t wait to retire our puffer coats when this never ending winter ends, and this time, we’re retiring the bulky jacket for good. Next fall, expect to see the puffer coat in new, much cooler styles. {WWD, subscription required}
Not Everyone Loves Lively: According to Gatecrasher, an employee at Chanel USA is dishing that not everyone at the house is as enamored by Blake Lively as Karl Lagerfeld. The source says that many feel that the all-American starlet and face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line is “off-brand.” But obviously, what Karl says, goes. {NY Daily News Gatecrasher}
Miami Goes Gaga for a Fake Gaga: While the real Lady Gaga celebrated her 25th birthday in Vegas, an imposter ran around Miami, causing a stir among fans, sales associates and PR people. The faux Gaga made stops at “normal” stores like French Connection and Guess, prompting Guess’ PR Manager to send out a hurried press release announcing the singer’s presence. The spokesperson said that Gaga purchased the Lucy Lace Skirt–a mundane A-line skirt that clearly should have tipped people off that the lookalike was an imposter. {Page Six}

Cacharel Fall 2011: Confections in Cream
PARIS–Growing up in Paris, Cacharel was what mothers bought their daughters to ensure they’d behave on a first date and appear like respectable young women. Preppy, French, below the knee.
Things have changed. Cédric Charlier is now in charge and the French designer, who previously worked at Céline and Lanvin, has given the house a successful makeover since his arrival in March 2009.
His neon-chic collection last season was a hit at the most exclusive beaches and cafés this summer and you can assured that the clothes he presented yesterday afternoon are going to fill elegant Parisian art openings this coming fall/winter.

Cacharel Spring 2011: From Dawn to Dusk
PARIS–Some shows display clothes, others tell an entire story. Cacharel certainly achieved the latter: its show at the Palais de Tokyo took us from dawn to dusk, on a warm summer day.
Soft rays of light filled the room to the beats of “Chérie Chérie,” by electro band Suicide.
In what resembled an illuminated morning in July, the models wore oversized flesh ensembles, three quarter trousers, and long dresses. These elongated, flowy cuts–paired with round sunglasses–felt like a Parisian take on Annie Hall’s impeccable ’70s chic.
