Couture week has come to a close and we have a few brief moments to absorb this last showing of Spring trends before moving on to a new season. Next week, Fall 2012 presentations begin in New York (and we’ll be there!) so until then, let’s look back at the beauty from Paris. While we’ve [...]

According to the writer, the label’s current backer, the private equity firm Permira (also the primary owner of Valentino), will be selling its [...]

By Randi Bergman and Jordan Porter Fellini’s in Toronto (at least in spirit), and we can’t get the 8 ½ director out of our heads.
