Who Will Replace John Galliano at Dior? A List of Possibles

Posted: 02 Mar 2011 07:00 AM PST

Replacing the fired John Galliano at Dior is arguably biggest decision Bernard Arnault will ever make. (Mostly because there was less riding on the position when he first hired Galliano in the Nineties.)

Since Galliano’s reign at the storied Paris fashion house was a time of major financial growth, Arnault needs to choose someone who can continue on that commercial path without compromising design. It’s a tough one, mostly because many of the designers proven capable of this are already stationed in plum creative director roles. Will Arnault look outside LVMH to replace Galliano, or will he make some swaps within the empire? We’ve crafted some educated guesses.

Quotes of the Day: Galliano’s Cinematic Fall From Grace

Posted: 02 Mar 2011 05:59 AM PST

Was Galliano drunk and egged on? Apparently. But we can each write one part of every script — our own. –Bridget Foley in WWD, regarding the demise of John Galliano.

So John, speaking as a member of the fashion community who has always been inspired by your work, I think we are all only waiting for you to publicly excuse yourself, to admit that what you said is just fucking crazy! But mostly that it's not what you truly believe. If you can confirm this for us, the entire fashion world would be able to come back on your side. And I, personally, don't want you to become an Internet pariah. I still want to see more John Galliano collections — you're one of the last designers of my generation that still believes in the power of fashion to make us dream. –Olivier Zahm in Purple Diary

Exclusive Video: Victoria’s Secret Angels Take Us Behind the Scenes of Their Latest Commercial

Posted: 01 Mar 2011 12:45 PM PST

One thing’s for sure: If you want to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel, you’ve got to have more than a great body and a beautiful face. That business takes personality.

And the ladies–Lily Aldridge, Erin Heatherton, Chanel Iman, Adriana Lima, and Candice Swanepoel–proved it in this mash-up of behind the scenes videos they recorded themselves at the filming of the brand’s latest commercial. Promoting the Incredible collection, big time movie guy Michael Bay directed the short in Los Angeles on the Queen Mary.

VS is launching two new styles of Incredible bras today, and Sarah’s heading over to the store later to give us a real-life review. Until then, here’s the dish: The New Incredible by Victoria's Secret collection is available for purchase at www.victoriassecret.com/incredible, in the Victoria's Secret catalogue, in Victoria's Secret stores nationwide, and on the Victoria's Secret iPad and iPhone apps.

Orange You Glad Estee Lauder’s New Spring Collection Is Here?

Posted: 01 Mar 2011 12:15 PM PST

The Spring 2011 runways were awash with orange, both on the clothes and on the faces. But none of the looks got more attention than makeup artist Tom Pecheux's pop of orange and white on the girls' eyes at Derek Lam.

That 15 minute moment on the runway is now the cornerstone of Estée Lauder's spring makeup line. After Tom, who is the Creative Makeup Director for Estée Lauder, used a coral lip pencil as an eyeliner, the brand quickly made plans to whip up eye shadows in the same colors.
