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. Sure, this is still just a rumor–but then again, doesn’t all great fashion news start that way? [Grazia]

Kate Middleton is UK’s ‘Most Naturally Beautiful Woman’, Forever 21 in Legal Trouble and Marion Cotillard is Lady Dior

by

Kate Middleton can now add a new title to her already-distinguished name: The Duchess of Campbridge has been voted Britain’s most naturally beautiful woman. {In Style UK}

Marion Cotillard continues her world tour as the face of Lady Dior. Next stop: The Hamptons! After having starred in campaigns shot in Paris, New York, Shanghai, London and Los Angeles, the actress was lensed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino on the beach in the Hamptons for Lady Dior’s latest campaign. {WWD}

Forever 21 is in legal trouble again–though this time it’s not for violating intellectual property rights. The US Department of Labor has served the fast fashion retailer with a subpoena, after they failed to turn over pertinent documents concerning the labor practices of their apparel contractors and manufacturers. The documents were originally requested because investigators found some goods were being manufactured in “sweatshop-like conditions.” {WWD}

Azzaro Loses Creative Director, Hedi Slimane Maybe Designing for Rolling Stones, and John Hamm’s Bulge Returns

by

Beyoncé hit the town this weekend wearing a very unique pair of earrings supporting her favorite presidential candidate. Hey, does anyone else get the feeling she’s voting for Obama? {HuffPo}

Mathilde Castello Branco has stepped down from her position as creative director of Azzaro, after only a year at the label. Branco’s next movement is not yet known, and while there’s no word yet on who will replace her, Azzaro released a statement saying they will “shortly be announcing her successor.” Stay tuned.{Vogue UK}

This strikes us as highly unlikely, but apparently supermodel Kate Moss is helping One Direction hottie Harry Styles decorate his new place after he rang up asking her for help. (Harry, I once interned for an interior designer – just throwing that out there.) {Sugarscape}

What is more distracting on the red carpet: the white makeup powder on Jon Hamm’s face or his, erm, visible bulge? {The Cut}
