| American Apparel’s Dov Charney Accused of Using Teenage Employee As Sex Slave Posted: 09 Mar 2011 03:10 AM PST
American Apparel founder Dov Charney is being accused of keeping a teenage employee captive and forcing her to perform sex acts on him in a new suit filed last week in Brooklyn Supreme Court, the NY Daily News is reporting. The plaintiff, Irene Morales, now 20, began working for American Apparel when she was 17 as a salesperson at the brand’s Chelsea outpost. According to the suit, in April of 2008 when Morales was 18, Charney invited her over to his Manhattan apartment, greeted her in nothing but briefs, and “forced her to go down on her knees just inside the front door and perform fellatio upon him.” Then Charney reportedly forced Morales to perform the same act on the bed, “nearly suffocating her in the process.” The horrifying accusations go on from there.

| A Gazillion Fashion Insiders ‘Confirm’ That Riccardo Tisci is in at Dior…Via Twitter Posted: 08 Mar 2011 04:22 PM PST
Despite the fact that we’re really not sure if John Galliano has been legally released from his contract at Dior, a bunch of fashion people are swearing on their grandma’s graves that Riccardo Tisci is confirmed as his successor at the storied French fashion house. (Actually, other than Derek Blasberg, they’re just casually hinting, but same difference.) Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Chanel Fall 2011: A Grunge Moment Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:37 PM PST
Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS–It was not the transformation of the massive grounds of the Grand Palais, with black sand, volcanic rocks and remnants of smoke smoldering underneath the long wooden platform, running nearly the entire length of the exhibition hall built in 1900 for the Universal Exposition. It was not the wall-sized images of burnt trees etched onto ceiling-height Styrofoam boards, which made the rectangular hall feel like the inside of a deep crater. And surely it was not the amount of looks that came out, nearly 80, with models traversing the length of the wooden platform from both sides of the rooms when the light bridges were lowered. Instead, the most impressive and outstanding achievement at this morning's Chanel show occurred when the models came out for the finale stood together with Mr. Karl Lagerfeld in the middle of the platform as the smoke intensified from underneath. Why? Because that moment illuminated how relevant he has made Chanel to the lives of women now. This was also the essence of the couture show in January, where the classic Chanel skirt suits, cleansed of surface decorations, were paired with stretch jeans, thus breaking the formality of a couture look. In this ready-to-wear show, the designer went further to propose easy and elegant clothes without the fussiness of looking like you were wearing, well, Chanel.

| Comme Des Garçons Fall 2011: Hybrid Fashion Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:30 PM PST
Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. Enclosed in the envelope with the invitation to the Comme des Garçons show last Saturday afternoon, which took place inside a small hall at the Hôtel de la Monnaie, was a small printed card. "Comme des Garçons will have extremely limited seating this season. This is Kawakubo's design; please kindly understand that your regular seat will not be possible. Thank you." And so it was: At the show, there were only two small bleachers and two rows of chairs, which formed a square for the models to traverse perpendicularly to and from one corner. At any Comme des Garçons show, it is always the fashion that matters, not the hierarchy. It was ironic that a note was sent to the few people invited asking them, in essence, to temporarily suspend their habits. By the time the sound of footsteps on the wooden bleachers ceased and the first model walked out in a long, shiny, black python print trench–without any back but instead tied together at the shoulder–the audience knew they were in for a fashion treat.

| Ungaro Fall 2011: Sexy, Sexual, Sex, Sex, Sex Posted: 08 Mar 2011 03:00 PM PST
PARIS–"Haven't we met before?" was the first thing Giles Deacon said to me as we chatted backstage after the show. I told him that yes, we had indeed met, but in far less glamorous circumstances, when I bartended in East London as a student, and pulled him a pint or two. "You must have made me lots of drinks then!" he said with a laugh. That sums up Giles Deacon in a sentence: unafraid to have a good time, whether in a crumby pub or at the Italian Embassy, where his second Ungaro show was held. The collection was definitely better suited to a cocktail at the embassy than a beer in a dive bar: Giles presented a fearlessly sexual woman–a playboy bunny at times, a dominatrix at others. Referring to Ungaro's famous comment that he “dresses mistresses rather than wives,” Deacon borrowed and condensed all codes of sexuality and taboo onto one catwalk.

| Erin Wasson On Her New Line for Zadig & Voltaire, Working With Alexander Wang Again, and Reality TV Posted: 08 Mar 2011 02:25 PM PST
PARIS–It makes perfect sense that French boutique Zadig & Voltaire recently opened their fourth location in New York (on 409 Bleecker). Their bad ass not-trying-too-hard French girl aesthetic is a perfect fit for the city. So Zadig & Voltaire has enlisted NYC scenesters Erin Wasson (who is also the face of their current campaign) and Gaia Repossi to design capsule collections for the brand, and both ladies were on hand this week at Zadig & Voltaire’s flagship store in Paris this week to discuss their collections. I sat down with Wasson to ask her about her forthcoming capsule collection for the brand (it will be out in October), and what it was like to be a judge on America’s Next Top Model and work with Alexander Wang again. (Repossi, unfortunately had to run before I had a chance to talk with her because she brought her exotic kitten to the store and it got finicky and she had to take it home. Really, this happened. You can take a look at her lovely creations for the store below.) Fashionista: Why partner with Zadig & Voltaire? You’ve designed before with RCVA and currently design your own jewelry collection, Low Luv. How will this be different? Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Givenchy Fall 2011: Calculated Ferocity Posted: 08 Mar 2011 01:59 PM PST
Fashionista contributor Long Nguyen is the co-founder/style director of Flaunt. PARIS–Riccardo Tisci's debut showing at Givenchy was in October 2005. His first few collections were widely criticized a lack of a single direction: This often resulted in his confusing shows and clothes. Consider Fall 2008's reworked American western-wear, mixed with elements of goth and bondage. They may have been smart elements, but the mixture was hard to digest. Not so Sunday night in the main hall at the Palais de Tokyo, where he showed to a small audience. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Katy Perry Is The New Face, Er, Head of GHD Styling Products Posted: 08 Mar 2011 01:00 PM PST
Katy Perry can now add another product endorsement to her resume. This time it's for UK haircare brand GHD (which stands for "good hair day"). GHD is a high-end brand known primarily for its stylers, which are flat irons that also make curls and waves. They come in a range of sizes for all hair lengths and types. They've won tons of industry awards, but that good reputation will cost you: they retail for about $225, so it's definitely an investment. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Behold: Kylie Minogue’s Complete Dolce & Gabbana Wardrobe for her ‘Les Folies’ Tour Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:51 PM PST
The entire wardrobe was built around a golden corset that the Australian pop icon will actually be able to move in as she performs her clubby songs. Each garment is a reinterpretation of one of Dolce & Gabbana‘s most iconic pieces. The result is an array of frothy and flashy pieces that Aphrodite herself would undoubtedly approve. Watch Minogue test drive the costumes with the designers and click through to see the singer pose in a few of the final products. Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

| Valentino Fall 2011: Pretty and Prim Posted: 08 Mar 2011 12:30 PM PST
PARIS–”Pretty” sounds like a reductive descriptor for Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli fall 2011 collection for Valentino, but it’s apt. “Pretty” over gorgeous or stunning or any other hyperbolic adjective because the collection was restrained, delicate, feminine, and, well, pretty–right down to the flowers appliqued to the necklines of dresses. A twinkly soundtrack reflected the preciousness of the dresses (less so when an awful version of “Missing” by Everything But the Girl was mixed in).
