Ralph Lauren - Goodbye

 Stardesigner Ralph Lauren gibt nach 48 Jahren an der Spitze des nach ihm benannten Kleidungskonzerns den Chefposten ab. Stefan Larsson, bisher Topmanager der Marke Old Navy des Rivalen Gap, wird den Vorstandsvorsitz im November übernehmen, teilte die Ralph Lauren Corporation am Dienstag mit.

Der 75-jährige Gründer des Modelabels wird als Verwaltungsrats- und Designchef aber weiter Einfluss nehmen. "Mein Job ist es, immer über die Zukunft unserer Firma nachzudenken – Stefan Larsson ist außergewöhnlich begabt und wird ihr eine frische und globale Perspektive bringen", sagte Lauren.

Junger Partner stellt neue Weichen

Der 41-jährige Larsson arbeitete 15 Jahre lang für die schwedische Modekette H&M, bevor er 2012 bei Old Navy anheuerte. Lauren holt damit einen jüngeren Partner an Bord und stellt so die Weichen für die Führung.

French Woman Styling secrets

French women are some of the most beautiful women in the world. A lot of it has to do with their relaxed confidence and their chic style. French women practically invented modern fashion (Coco Chanel, anyone?). The modern day French woman seems to always be dressed to perfection. They are some of my favorite people to watch during Fashion Week. Are you a fan of French style like I am? Check out some ways that you can dress more like a stylish French woman. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

Put Down The Hair Brush- French women are known for their messy tresses. They have a classic case of bed head but it works for them. It’s a sexy look that you can totally achieve. They don’t fuss with their hair, it’s just natural.

Stay Away From Trends- Stay away from trends and go for a signature look instead. Go with a cool down-to-Earth style and keep your favorite French fashionistas in mind when you get dressed.

Don’t Go Heavy On Accessories- Ever notice how French women rarely wear baubles and over-the-top accessories? They keep their jewelry and other accessories to a minimum. It’s all about minimalistic style for French women.

Focus On The Fit- Instead of fast-fashion, French women shop for staple pieces that will last them longer. They also focus on fit and know when to head to the tailors when they find a look that they love. They need it fit perfectly to their body type.

It’s All About Attitude- Put your personality into your looks and wear them with the confidence of a beautiful French woman. It’s all about attitude, ladies.

MOSCHINO - new Fashion Playground in Soho

So it should come as no surprise that Mr. Scott’s first www.moschino.com Moschino flagship in New York’s Soho neighborhood is filled to the brim with joyous items that will fill the darkened hearts of any New Yorker with at least a tinge of happiness. Take, for example, the oversize purses and heels that take up a large portion of the sales floor. There are also huge hangers in place of average clothing racks. “I’m so excited about bringing to life my super-sized iconic bags, shoes and hats,” Mr. Scott told the Observer. “That playfulness is something that I feel has been missing from the retail environment.”

In January of this year, Mr. Scott opened up a Moschino shop in Los Angeles, where he can often be found, when he’s not working for the brand in Milan. That boutique, located on Beverly Boulevard, also has a gallery-esque feeling, as it formerly housed the Hadid Gallery. While the product carried in these bi-coastal shops is more or less the same, the customer base is completely different.

“A lot of the L.A. Moschino customers are celebrities and so a lot of the business is done with personal shoppers and assistants,” he pointed out. “It has a more behind closed door feeling about it, where I think NYC will be a lot more about the people on the streets, who are trying on clothes and buying for themselves.” Aside from adding this new retail location to the Moschino portfolio, Mr. Scott has a busy few months ahead. Not only is he prepping Fall women’s collections for Moschino and his own eponymous range, he is also readying for the impending release of a documentary that charts his rise to success, titled Jeremy Scott: The People’s Designer. The film will debut on September 8, at a sure-to-be star studded premiere, at Hollywood’s Chinese Theater. It will hit theaters nationwide on September 18.
