Pigozzi is a colorful character–literally. It’s evident in the decor of the store (carpeted in AstroTurf, dotted with overstuffed aqua-colored arm chairs) and the clothes themselves. Limoland’s blue-faced mascot, Mr. Limo, is based on the work of late Tanzanian artist George Lilanga, and Pigozzi describes him has “the most elegant limo driver in the world,” who is “a bit of a snob.” He likes that Mr. Limo looks so different from a “‘pretentious’ polo player or a ‘menacing’ crocodile.” Before he started his own line of basics in 2007, Pigozzi shopped in Harlem because it was the only place he could find his size (XXL or XXXL) in what he calls “fun colors.” Harlem’s vibrancy has certainly inspired his first full menswear collection.
So a question to our male readers: Would you wear the LimoLaba?

The internship is unpaid, but there is a daily stipend for lunch and other great perks (school credit is available but not required). Please submit all cover letters and resumes to Meg Zaragoza at mzaragoza@millyny.com. And good luck!

| Hotline Showroom Needs Interns! Posted: 18 Aug 2010 01:48 PM PDT
Beyond a fabulous taste level and the obvious love of fashion, Hotline is pursuing candidates that are strong self starters, have the ability to multitask, and are eager to learn in a fast paced environment. Although usual tasks such as faxing, filing, and sample trafficking will be required, you will also have the opportunity to sit in on appointments with buyers, create line sheets and story boards, work side-by-side with the associates in the showroom, and attend major trade shows. Hotline has successfully groomed incredible interns in the past that have even been moved to change majors based on their experience in the showroom.
If Hotline Showroom sounds like your fashion paradise, e-mail a resume and brief cover letter explaining why you're the right person for the job to betsy@hotlineshowroom.com.

| Long Nguyen Looks Back on 20 Years of Dolce & Gabbana for Men Posted: 18 Aug 2010 01:20 PM PDT
There's always a birthday to celebrate in Fashion Land. Two years ago it was the big 4-0 for Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, with an extravaganza on the High Line and a show/dinner on Central Park lawn, respectively. This fall marks the 25th year of Donna Karan and Tommy Hilfiger as well as the 40th year for Roberto Cavalli. And there's sure to be plenty of events fêting these designers come Fashion Month. Dolce & Gabbana also celebrated a birthday in 2010–the 20th year of its menswear line. I’ll always remember that day in January 1990, in the old showroom at Via Santa Cecilia, that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana presented their first men's collection, just five years after they had launched their womenswear label. I had started to work for Dolce & Gabbana in New York a year and a half earlier. In those days, I was the only employee. It was my first job in the fashion industry. There in the small rectangular showroom, on a runway that curved around three huge support pillars were, models wearing layers of slouchy coats with jackets and tight flat front pants tucked into leather boots. There were double layered cable knits cardigans, cable sweaters tucked into wool stretch pants, brass square buckle leather belts and knit hats. There was a crop wool jacket worn with a wool t-shirt, large wool knit scarf, and slim pants.  An image from the 1990 runway. For the finale, the designers stripped the models into their cotton tanks–an Italian version of the U ribbed tank top now known as the DG tank–slim wools pants, large leather belts and high leather boots. The model Marpessa was in a black corset dress and a gold crown. This emotional show, with a style so personal, ended an era dominated by power dressing. In April 1990, we showed the men's and women's fall collections at the Puck building in New York, establishing the roots for today's global brand. Sicilian, Mediterranean and la Dolce Vita were the words frequently used to describe the duo's men's collections. These words–the brand's DNA–resonate today ever more. Now, Dolce & Gabbana are returning to their roots. Unlike the big party and Donna Summer concert in Milano for its 20 years of womenswear in 2005, Dolce & Gabbana is celebrating its men's anniversary differently. The designers chose to host a large exhibition during the men's shows this past June at Palazzo Marino, Milan's City Hall. The images from this exhibition are the basis of three books to be published by Mondarori Electa throughout this fall. 20 Years of Dolce & Gabbana for Men–designed by Fabien Baron–as well as Icons 1990-2010 and Fashion Shows 1990-2010–both designed by Lucca Stoppini. Tim Blanks, Peter Howarth, and Courtney Colavita wrote the introductions.

| Hey Italian Fashion Elite: Stop Tormenting Me With Your Awesome Vacations Posted: 18 Aug 2010 12:00 PM PDT
But lately this task has started to bother me. Here’s why: It’s August. In Europe, and especially in Italy, everyone goes on vacation. Everyone. For the whole month. When New Yorkers go on vacation they stay glued to their blackberries to respond to work emails. Not Italy. These people know how to go on vacation and not work. I would like to learn how to do this.
And now it seems Katie Grand (or someone at LOVE) is on safari (today’s tweet pics include “Hello zebra,” “Hello ostrich,” and “Hello elephants.” Le sigh. So if you hadn’t already noticed how awesome ADR, Stefano Gabbana and Giovanna Battaglia’s vacations are going, here are some pix to rub it in. The last one’s a little treat from Stefano.

| Swarovski is Underwriting Shows for Prabal, Mark Fast, Henry Holland and More This Season Posted: 18 Aug 2010 09:59 AM PDT  One of Holly Fulton's incredible designs. Swarovski just released the list of shows it’ll be sponsoring for Spring 2011. The roster is long, but distinguished: Prabal Gurung What does a Swarovski sponsorship afford designers? Along with generous financial support, they’re also required to use Swarovski crystals in their collections. For some, like the embellishment-happy Holly Fulton, that’s easy. For others–say, Mark Fast–it’s a bit more challenging. (However, we saw a sneak peek of Fast pulling it off when we met him earlier this year. He actually embedded the pyramid gems into the knit.) Congrats to the recipients–we can’t wait to see what they have in store for SS 2011!

Devious Designers: In a bizarre display of cunning, top-name fashion houses are sending free designer bags to Jersey Shore’s Snooki. But here’s the catch– they’re sending her the bags of competing designers. Why? Well, you try carrying around a Gucci purse after it’s become Snooki’s signature item and tell us how many compliments you get. {The New York Observer} Tyra On Teeny: Tyra Banks responded to the “misconstrued” Top Model teaser trailer, in which ANTM judges swooned over a prospective contestant’s teeny waistline, in exactly the way we’d expect her to– by complaining that she couldn’t possibly oversee every aspect of the show’s publicity material, and by managing to sound like the victim in a society of waistline-worshiping media. Um, honey, you’re the host of a modeling reality show. You can only be so blameless. {The Huffington Post} Puffin Gets Pretty: Print- and pattern-master Orla Kiely will be designing a cover for Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women for Puffin’s 70th anniversary classics edition. Maybe it’s time to put down our Kindles and re-kindle our love of the hardcover. {Vogue UK}

| 10 Questions for the Rachel Zoe Project Posted: 18 Aug 2010 09:00 AM PDT
2. Were Brad’s hot pink panties a random Donna Karan placement? Or just some hot pink panties that Brad looks hot in? 3. When Rachel said “Let’s see if I can do it all,” after noting that Gwen Stefani can “do it all,” does that mean she’s going to have babies? 4. How many glasses frames do you think Brad has (sunglasses count too)? 5. Do you think Rachel’s theory about supermodels–that they coined the term “supermodel” because through rain sleet or snow they show up for work–is a bit off? I still remember when Linda Evangelista said supermodels “don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.” 6. Did your heart break a little when Rodger said he feels like he’s the only person his wife says “no” to? 7. Does anyone else think Jordan is girl crush worthy? We agree with Ashley on this one. She’s adorable. Also I would like her to reveal her hair secrets to me. 8. When Brad meets Naomi Campbell he says that “every single muscle in my body is convulsing with excitement and intense fear.” Wouldn’t you be terrified to meet Naomi too? At least Brad didn’t hold his hands over his head for protection against flying phones. 9. Brad, you can take number nine: “Is fashion week going to make me fat? Like fat-shion week?” Yes, yes it is. Or am I the only one who lives on McDonald’s and Thai or Chinese take out during fashion week? (I am not.) 10. How did Rachel and her team pull it off? We have to commend Rachel for this one (and Naomi). I was at the show and never would have guessed that the show was pulled together in just three days. Also I remember it was weird how Chris Brown walked in the show and no one knew how to react. And the McQueen tribute at the end was truly moving.

| Sneak Peek: Gucci’s New Fragrance Campaign, Directed by Frank Miller and Starring Evan Rachel Wood Posted: 18 Aug 2010 08:00 AM PDT We have a feeling a lot of fashion people are really into Sin City, so this Frank Miller-directed teaser for the fragrance Gucci Guilty should please. Evan Rachel Wood stars alongside Chris Evans in the film, which will make its debut at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 12. The trailer, shown here, is pretty stunning, too. (Although we can’t take Chris Evans seriously–but that’s for another time, another blog.) (Oh, and PS: You can win tickets to the awards show through Gucci’s Facebook page. Bonne chance!)

Fashion designer, art collector, venture capitalist, photographer, and all around Renaissance man Jean “Johnny” Pigozzi officially opens his flagship store LimoLand in the Meatpacking district next week, but we got a peak at the store and, more importantly, Pigozzi’s first full menswear collection yesterday. 
And since Pigozzi seems like a guy who dresses and does as he pleases, he’s also included a piece in his collection that is not yet a staple for most Americans–but he’s hoping it soon will be. He’s created his own version of the North African Djellaba (a traditional floor length, long sleeved robe worn by men in Arabic speaking countries) and he’s calling it the LimoLaba. 
Contemporary designer Milly NY is currently looking for design focused students to intern in their NY office for the Fall 2010 semester. The ideal candidate can commit to at least 2 full days a week, and must be proactive and team oriented. The student will gain invaluable experience in design, samplemaking, production, and even sales and marketing. He or she will be a big part of preparation and organization for the Spring 2011 runway show, working alongside head designer Michelle Smith, the design team, and the stylists. The environment is just as fun as the clothes!
Hotline, one of New York's premiere multi-line showrooms representing Joe's Jeans and Torn by Ronny Kobo, among others, has begun enrollment for the Fall session of lucky interns. There are two tracks accepting resumes at this time. Those students applying to the Design/Merchandising department will receive a hands-on experience that will teach you how to launch, design, merchandise, and sell a collection from its inception. Alternately, those students interested in the Sales/Brand Management department will learn what a career in wholesale entails as well as gain an understanding of effective in-store marketing and how to grow a brand.
Interns must be available at least 3 days a week, be able to start this August, and preferably work until December. Knowing how to sketch and proficiency in Photoshop is definitely a plus. This is an unpaid internship, but school credit is available if needed and there’s the promise of free samples and amazing experience useful for a bright and successful future in fashion.

Part of this job entails covering the fashion twitterverse. This is a thing I generally enjoy. Designers, models, PRs, and fashion personalities are more candid on Twitter and you get a better sense of their personality. They also break news over Twitter–like 
If Stefano Gabbana tweets pics of one more beautiful Italian sunset over the water I’m going to crawl under my desk. I’ll make sure Lauren alerts you when it happens.
