While we’re still reeling from Nicolas Ghesquière’s abrupt departure from Balenciaga, rumors of another potential major designer shake-up are trickling in: Erdem Moralioğlu is said to be taking over Schiaparelli.

Fashion Industry VIPs Remind You to Vote Tomorrow!

by Hayley Phelan

Between Anna Wintour’s epic fundraising efforts and several celeb-filled PSA-style videos, there’s no doubt that the fashion industry is becoming an increasingly powerful presence in politics today.

And now that election day is almost upon us, all of the industry’s best and brightest are taking to Twitter to remind us how very important it is that everyone votes tomorrow.

Like Andre Leaon Talley for example, who tweeted, “Make an effort to talk about nothing but getting out to vote for the next 72 hours. Vote Obama. Tell everyone you meet. It’s Obama.”

Prabal Gurung Spring 2013

by Leah Chernikoff

Prabal Gurung has really started to settle in to an identifiable aesthetic with this latest collection. It’s beautiful cocktail wear–jackets with tails, drop waist dresses with ruffled tulle skirts, airy tunics–but with a dark streetwise edge. (For evidence of that dark side see the dripping blood manicures the models sported.) There were neoprene sweatshirts, low-slung pants and filmy slinky layering tanks mixed in with the party dresses.
