Today's Blind Items- Fashion House Horror
This fashion house is credited for one of the most important fashion innovations ever. Now though, under new ownership it is a horror house. Literally. The owner treats everyone like a slave, which is not all that surprising given their upbringing. That was kind of the norm for them growing up. Contracts have been awarded for manufacturing all of the garments to companies who use child and slave labor. No one will ever catch them though because the owner of the fashion house has a lock on most of the news that comes out of the country. If you want to model for the line then you better be prepared to be passed around to all the men who are financial backers and red tape cutters for the company. The owner has zero respect for anyone unless they are rich or famous. Preferably both. When you think of evil people who run companies, this person is right at the very top of the list.
Ralph Lauren just stepped away?
ReplyDeleteYeah to the Old Navy CEO???!! to keep the brand relevant..since when was iconic Ralph Lifshitz Lauren Brand irrelevant??? weird choice for sure with 2 sons & a daughter..js

ReplyDeleteStefan Larsson new CEO of Ralph Lauren...god knows why...
ReplyDeleteCalvin Klein
ReplyDeleteHarve Leger --The Bandage Dress
ReplyDeleteNew Owner Max Azria from Tunisia
Methinks Mr. Lauren isn't that good at actually "running" the company, or at least he doesn't want to deal with that part of the business. It sounds like he's still going to be the key man in charge of the brand and design, but Stefan is going to be the one making sure the budget balances and production deadlines are met. He will also be the whipping post for the board members and stock holders. Mazel Tov!

ReplyDeleteYes..Ralph is still Creative Director..Larsson will keep the budget in line...& the direction the Co. should go..kinda being nostalgic though that it was one of the remaining homegrown Co.s..
ReplyDeleteIt's been a couple of years, but Valentino was sold to the royal Qatar family: http://www.elle.com/fashion/news/a16163/valentino-fashion-house-sold-to-qatar/
ReplyDeleteThe Quatar family has been linked to Al Qaeda: http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=129838&page=1
NOT saying they're the same as Al Qaeda now...but the blind speaks of their past and how it impacts current practices...Yikes!
Enty would consider that an important fashion innovation of EVER, which is 10 years to him.
ReplyDeleteNot the bikini or the miniskirt.
Miniskirt has multiple attributions:
André Courrèges, Balenciaga
Mary Quant, Herself
John Bates as Jean Varon
I know Azria's not that new but he is secretive and what's been "important fashion innovations"-
ReplyDeleteDVF Wrap Dress;
Burberry Trench;
Vanderbillt Jeans;
Norma Kamali Fitted dresses;
Missoni Patterns;
Hermes Birkin Bag
Uggs : )
Louis Vuitton Steam Trunk
ReplyDeleteI hope I am not buying this brand.
ReplyDeleteGoga Ashkenazi at Vionnet. She's from a kleptocratic family in Kazachstan.
ReplyDeleteMy previous comment is in "moderation" so I won't include the links, and perhaps it'll go through. Valentino (Valentino Red being icoic) was sold to a family that has ties to a terrorist group. You can google them yourself!
ReplyDelete*iconic
ReplyDeleteMayhoola For Investments Spc from Qatar---( just helping you out there @ LauraOK-hate that moderation crap on here)
ReplyDeleteWOW-I wish there were moratoriums on such purchases & on all the iconic real estate that's being swooped up--so disheartening. : (
Thanks, BA! The royal family of Qatar purchased Valentino...and they have ties to Al Qaeda. Let's see if that goes through!
ReplyDeleteMogatu and the Malaysian Prime Minister

Out them!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's no room for slavery any more. Nor evil companies.
We, the world, have had enough!
I'm guessing Ralph Lauren just because he's in the news today. No better reason than that.
ReplyDeleteIt's either this or SPANX !!!
ReplyDeleteOut the fashion house, Enty, and soon.
ReplyDeletethanks @Topper!
ReplyDeleteI like the Herve Leger, because the bandage dress has lasted way too long. I also like the Valentino guess because the Qatar royals would be able to control the media.
