One week after the news of Alexander McQueen‘s suicide, the Gucci Group confirmed that the designer’s label will continue. GG President and CEO Robert Polet said, “We believe in the future of the brand…Lee was very proud of the people working in his company, and so am I.” [Vogue UK]
Meanwhile the British Fashion Council will pay tribute to McQueen at London Fashion Week, setting up a wall in the main tent where guests can pin notes written to the designer and his family. At the end of the week, the BFC will compile the notes into a book and give it to the McQueen’s family. [WWD]
Paris Vogue shot model Rose Cordero for their March issue–the first cover featuring a solo black model since 2002. [The Cut]
Alexa Chung‘s sales power has prevailed. Mulberry reports that there is a waiting list for the Alexa handbag, and they have raised their profit forecast for the second time in just three months. [London Evening Standard via Stylelist]
At the Diesel Black Gold show on Tuesday, Anna Wintour reportedly came, saw…and left. There was disorder outside the venue, with guests having to wait outside, and supposedly when Wintour and her Vogue entourage saw the chaos, they got right back into their cars. [NYDN via Racked]
You can take the celebrity out of the Hollywood drama, but you can’t take the drama out of the celebrity. Justin Timberlake supposedly had all of his William Rast employees sign a gag order at his NYFW show, forbidding them to gossip about the singer/designer. [NYP]
The trend of A-lister turned designer doesn’t seem to be fading anytime soon, but another trend is budding in the fashion world: Model-turned-DJ. Hannah Holman is the latest mannequin to join the spinning ranks. [Modelinia]
