Fashion News Roundup: Charlotte Casiraghi Is the New Face of Gucci, Daphne Guinness Is Auctioning Her Clothes, and Karl Lagerfeld Becomes a Cartoonist
Place Your Bets on Charlotte Casiraghi for Gucci: The Royal daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco (and granddaughter of Grace Kelly) may be the next face of Gucci. Considering that Gucci provides the 25-year-old with her equestrian kit, this rumor has a lot of horsepower behind it. Plus this blue blood has a Blue Ribbon in fashion: she regularly sports Gucci and Chanel Haute Couture, and she covered the September issue of Paris Vogue. Nothing official yet, so we’ll just have to wait for the photo finish. UPDATE: It’s confirmed, reports Vogue UK. She’ll appear in a four-part series to be shot by Peter Lindbergh, all with a horsey theme. {Telegraph UK}
Daphne Guinness to Auction Her Clothing: After buying the late Isabella Blow’s entire collection to save it from the auction block, Guinness will now auction off 100 of her own unique pieces on June 27. The auction will be handled by Christie’s and the proceeds will go to the new Isabella Blow Foundation, which supports young art and fashion talent. Pieces from the likes of Chanel, Balenciaga, and McQueen will go on display from June 23 to the day of auction. Guinness is known for her incredible wardrobe, so start saving your pennies now! {Vogue UK}
Spotted: John Galliano in the Marais: One figure staying quiet in the Dior debate is former creative director Galliano. He’s been spotted in Paris keeping a low profile – well, low for Galliano – reportedly wearing a beanie over his signature blond locks and a pencil thin 20′s style mustache. He was leaving a café tout seul on Rue de Turenne Saturday night. {WWD}

Stefano Pilati on His Past Drug Use, Galliano, and Why Designers Can’t Get High Like They Used To
It sounds like Galliano’s indiscretions and subsequent firing has, understandably, put fear into the hearts of other designers who have enjoyed a similarly rebellious lifestyle–at least those who work for huge coporations. One example is YSL’s talented, but at times rebellious and hard-partying creative director Stefano Pilati. In a fantastic interview with Vice, he discusses how people in his position can’t really get away with bad behavior the way they used to:
Today, excess has to be kept within the private sphere. But you know about my past and that I used to get high. When I used to really use, at Prada, a guy found out, and he told me, “Well, David Bowie made his best records when he was using.” That was maybe the last time I felt that there was a slight acceptance of what I was doing. Today, that kind of stuff is just impossible. Without getting right into the dirt of it, John [Galliano] really kind of put an end to that sort of option.
Of the Galliano situation he says:

Report: Bill Gaytten Is Designing Three Collections Ahead for Dior, So When Will LVMH Announce a New Creative Director?
Haute couture kicks off next week, and with its approach comes more musing about creative director-less Dior. Critics panned interim director Bill Gaytten’s first efforts at couture for the house and today, the AFP wonders how long Dior can thrive without a couturier.
Sure sales are up 27 percent, which, the article notes, has served to “limit fallout from the Galliano scandal,” but we’ve yet to see real sales figures from Gaytten’s designs, which will be in stores in the coming months. Still, according to experts quoted in the AFP story, Dior can hold on without a creative director for a few season thanks to the diversity of the brand and it’s strong design “codes” like the bar suit and nipped waists.
