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

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}
