Valentino is a house still transitioning from the imposing aura of its legendary founder. On the creative front, that has created no small level of high-profile upheaval: The will-he/won’t-he retire chatter that followed Valentino for months prior to his grandiose 40th anniversary celebration; his ultimate retirement; the brief tenure of Alessandra Facchinetti; her abrupt dismissal, followed by the installation of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli at the house’s design helm.The two a...

It’s been a while since the sharp-witted Jay McCarroll was dubbed “the next great American designer” on season one of reality TV’s “Project Runway” and he’s anxious to finally show his first line of clothing. The feature documentary “Eleven Minutes” chronicles his year-long journey preparing his first independent runway show for New York’s Fashion Week in Bryant Park and the subsequent selling of his line to stores.

Going Dutch. A phrase laced with frugality: "I’ll buy my burger, you buy yours." But John Galliano isn’t any old Joe at the diner. Rather, he is a master deconstructionist who can impose his way on a concept as remarkably as on a piece of cloth.
WITH some of the collections this season having been judged relatively tame and commercial because of the credit crunch that is hitting every headline possible all over the world, we were relying on John Galliano's Dior show to shake us out of morose recession-inspired musings and give us plenty to dream about.But he rarely gives us what we expect of him, and having been accused of over doing the showmanship occasionally in the past, Galliano has made it his business to prove he makes real clo...
