* As reported two weeks ago, Nicolas Ghesquiere left Balenciaga after fifteen years. His replacement has already been announced, according to WWD. The rumors are true, Alexander Wang is now the creative director of Balenciaga. *OMG moment!* I am very excited what Wang will come up with for his first runway show. His style runs in the family of sportswear and is much simpler campared to Nicolas. It will be quite a show to see if he sticks to his roots or goes out of his comfort zone to fit into Nicolas's style. SO glad fashion week isn't too far away, dying to see what he has worked up his well-tailored sleeve.
* The fashion yearbook has officially been printed. In other terms, Bing.com has released their most searched fashion stars of 2012. Rounding out as number one is Michael Kors. This may surprise some, but Michelle Obama did wear one of his dresses to celebrate the second term win or her husband. Also, he has opened stores up around the world, collaborated with various creative talent, has a line at Macy's, and donated $1million dollars to Sandy. Others on the list included: 2) Louis Vuitton 3) Gucci 4) Ralph Lauren 5) J. Crew 6) Chanel 7) Prada 8) Juicy Couture 9) Burbeery 10) Tory Burch.
* Marc Jacobs is used to controversy, and his latest commercial is no exception. Please be warned, this material may not be suited for all so please watch with at your own discretion. (Possibly without parents or colleagues around.) The video is called Marc Jacobs: Jack of all trades. Take one of those words from that sentence and that is what looks like is happening... In a park... With people. Then at the end he whips out, his sunglasses! This video is almost appalling yet humorous. It's like a gag commercial for high fashion!
* NYC window displays are officially dolled up for the holidays. NYC during the holidays is actually amazing. From the tree in Rock Center to the window displays at Saks or Bergdorfs. It could be described as magical. This past week, the tree went up, the tinsel was thrown, and the sparkly gowns were displayed in the windows. I am hoping to get a chance to go up 5th Ave to give you my own version of what these window displays are like. Be on the lookout for a window display blog!
