The fashion press has pissed off YSL yet again.
Keeping up this year’s trend of open letters between fashion’s power players, YSL CEO Paul Deneve wrote a not-so-favorable one to WWD, which the trade published today. Oh and he threw in a little dig to Cathy Horyn as well.
Recently, we’ve noticed the emergence of an unlikely style icon: The witch. We’re serious.
From the runways of Saint Laurent and Thom Browne to the backs of celebrities like Elle Fanning, witch-inspired fashion is no longer just for Halloween.
One of the many details about Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent debut in Paris that had everyone buzzing was the fact that Slimane had cast several relatively unknown models as exclusives and kept them a secret until the runway show.
Now that Paris Fashion Week and the drama-filled fallout are behind us, one of those models gave an interview to The Cut about how she was plucked from relative obscurity to fly to Paris to hang out and “work with” Hedi Slimane for several weeks leading up to the show. Her name is Louise Parker and she hales from Minnesota. Here’s what else we learned.
There are more rumors that a Kimye klothing line is in the works. God help us. {Grazia UK}

Agyness Deyn is reprising her stripper role from Pusher in a new spin-off flick. {Vogue UK}
So those TIME photos of Paul Ryan weight lifting have spawned some hilarious memes. Obvi. {The Cut}
Well that was fast. With the exception of Gwyneth Paltrow’s mysterious Hedi Slimane-designed handbag, it seems Lady Gaga is the first celebrity to don a full look from the spring 2013 Saint Laurent collection which debuted on the runway exactly one week ago (can you believe how much s**t has gone down in a week?).
Could this be a white flag in the on-going dispute between designer Hedi Slimane and critic Cathy Horyn?
Slimane has removed all his tweets about Cathy Horyn, including the original open letter. There is no explanation left in it’s place, so we’re left to wonder what motivated the designer to delete them at all.
PPR CEO Francois-Henri Pinault responds to Slimane’s critics, including Cathy Horyn. This story will never end!
The fashion month marathon is officially over.
We saw collections we loved, gawked at mega-watt celebrities, flirted with Olympians, hung out backstage with models–and watched everyone hated on Cathy Horyn.
So, before you put up your (seriously sore) feet this weekend and indulge in some takeout and bad reality TV, relive all those moments and more as we breakdown of the 10 biggest stories to come out of fashion month. Enjoy!
Well, that was fast. Just four days after Hedi Slimane sent his debut ready to wear collection down that fateful Paris runway, images of Anja Rubik modeling the very same collection have been posted to YSL’s newly relaunched website.
After all the hype surrounding Raf Simons’ and Hedi Slimane’s debuts for Dior and Saint Laurent respectively, and all the backlash and name-calling following Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent show, it’s easy to forget there were some really lovely collections shown this week. Click through for a little reminder, plus our picks for the 10 best collections from the week.
While critics were not exactly over the moon about Hedi Slimane’s YSL debut, buyers apparently were. And isn’t that ultimately more important?
We’re not sure who Saint Laurent’s spring 2013 show was more of a coup for: Designer Hedi Slimane–or Rachel Zoe. Because it was the latter’s name that online commenters were using to describe the aesthetic of the collection–one of the most hotly anticipated shows of the season.
But it wasn’t just the online community that noticed the similiarities between Slimane’s debut and Zoe’s aesthetic.
