Fashion News Roundup: Bob Guccione Passes Away, Alexander Wang Pre-Sale, and ADR's Headpiece Blocks the Sartoralist's View
The Racked 38: Racked has updated their "Racked 38"--a definitive list of New York City's shopping experiences. Some stores that made the list: Housing Works, Trash & Vaudeville, Patricia Field, and Opening Ceremony. {Racked} Bob Guccione Passes Away: Bob Guccione, the man best known for establishing the men's magazine Penthouse (but for our purposes, he's the man who launched Anna Wintour's career), has passed away of throat cancer. Guccione gave Wintour her first job in the magazine industry in the late 1970's when he hired her as the fashion editor of his adult magazine, Viva. {People} Alexander Wang Pre-sale: Opening Ceremony has announced their pre-sale of Alexander Wang's Spring 2011 collection. The pre-sale will begin on October 25 on Opening Ceremony's website, and will offer select looks from the designers collection. So, if you're into white and have some spare change to drop on a white paint-splatter dress, then start counting down the days. {Opening Ceremony}
