an interesting observation

rock the trend noticed the 3 big magazine editors in brand new items from the fall collections:

carine roitfield, french vogue, in a/w 09 balenciaga.

anna wintour, american vogue, in a/w 09 prada

katie grand, love magazine, in a/w 09 dolce and gabanna.

to reiterate, spring has barely even sprung and these editors are rocking brand spanking new (as in not even widely manufactured) autumn/winter styles. life is cruel and unfair.

olivier theyskens officially let go at nina ricci

despite his adamantly praised fall collection shown in paris 2 weeks ago, olivier theyskens, previous head designer and creative director at nina ricci, was finally let go, after much creative dissention between the designer and ricci's owner, puig group. anna wintour, an ardent fan, was absolutely stunned and suggests he branch out on his own. honestly? theyskens revamped a previously dated-looking label whilst maintaining his gothic aesthetic: bitch needs his own label at this point! i can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
