>> Chanel had a big production in Venice, Oscar de la Renta is gearing up for his Cruise 2010 show in a few days time, and Jason Wu just announced he's joining the big leagues by putting on his own Cruise 2010 runway show, inspired by Iris Apfel, June 4 at the Greenwich Hotel.

But Stefano Pilati, known for his ascetic approach to Yves Saint Laurent in recent seasons, has decided to continue that thought, opting to go without a Cruise 2010 show.  As for the clothes, he veered away from his recent obsession with black, white, and shades of gray, infusing color and even a print into the Loulou de la Falaise-inspired mix.
