John Galliano Is Back, Kate Middleton’s Baby Bump Was Everywhere, and Nasty Gal Has Some Competition
John Galliano Returns: John Galliano (who’s sporting a new grunge look) got a new gig at Parsons, teaching a master class on the “challenges and complications of leading a design house.” But not everyone is happy about it.
Let the Kate Middleton Baby Bump Watch Commence! Whether it’s a $1,750 silk Erdem number or a $76 Topshop polka dot dress, we’re keeping our eyes on how the Duchess is dressing her royal baby bump. (Could she be hinting at something with the color of this frock?)
In The Aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombings: Nike scrambles to pull old “Boston Massacre” t-shirts from stores. Now, however, that same shirt is going for $150,000 on eBay.

Professor Galliano Debuts New Grunge Look

The Top 5 Sustainable Fashion Design Programs in the World
If you’ve been paying attention to the fashion industry the past few years, you know that sustainable design is more important than ever.
Our clothing consumption has reached an all time high, and in response, advocates for mindful, more eco-friendly design are screaming their message louder than ever. And it seems the fashion industry is finally listening: The CFDA recently created the first-ever sustainability committee , Levi’s and Zara have committed to going toxic-free, and H&M has unveiled a series of ambitious sustainable design projects.
The growing trend towards sustainable and ethically designed clothing is not only helping to create a greener planet–it’s created a whole new job market, one where having an education in sustainable design may give you a considerable edge in the industry. Here are the best sustainable design programs out there.
John Galliano to Discuss the ‘Challenges and Complications of Leading a Design House’
Imagine that John Galliano, one of the most controversial figures in the fashion industry, is your teacher. Yesterday, we learned that this will be a possibility for seniors in Parsons’s BFA fashion program.
Now imagine that you could ask him, well, almost anything: What it was like to work at Dior, his departure from Dior, his struggles with addiction, his slow and public comeback into fashion.
This will be a reality for those students selected to take Galliano’s master class at Parsons.

Is John Galliano Going to Teach at Parsons?
With his temporary gig at Oscar de la Renta supposedly over (initial reports said it would last three weeks), we’re all left wondering: what’s Galliano’s next move?
Central Saint Martins may have dismissed reports that he was taking on a teaching role there, but that doesn’t mean those rumors that he may teach somewhere were entirely baseless.
