Dundas's Debut Fall 2009 Pucci Collection Minimizes Prints February 28, 2009 1:51 pm >> Matthew Williamson's gone from Pucci, and he seems to have taken the brand's bright, kaleidoscopic prints with him. Peter Dundas is in the house, and his interpretation of the Pucci heritage for Fall 2009 involves darker, moodier colors with a rock and roll vibe; the slit-up-to-there strapless gowns and super-minidresses are drawing Balmain comparisons from a number of sources. But critics — although some are unsure about the lack of prints — seem ready to give Dundas a chance: management did want a new, modern image, after all. WWD encouraged Dundas's movement beyond the print heritage: "The fact is that [Pucci] has to." The Moment agreed that the collection felt "relevent to the times and the house," as did Cathy Horyn: " If Dundas can develop 'the product,' as retailers say, he may just have something at Pucci."*image: source

February 27, 2009 3:21 pm >> INSIDER WIRE —Steven Meisel's obsession with the Brit it-girls continues. It all started when he photographed Pixie Geldof and Daisy Lowe for Pringle Spring 2009. He was so enamored, he placed Pixie on the cover of Vogue Italia February 2009 with Daisy and Eliza Cummings inside; then came a portfolio for W March 2009 with Daisy, Eliza, Portia Freeman, and Peaches Geldof. Now, it's rumored that he's shot Eliza Cummings again — this time, for the Vogue Italia April 2009 cover. She has been having a runway moment, walking Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, Luella, and Missoni .
Caroline Trentini a No-Show at Boyf Victor Demarchelier's Opening February 27, 2009 2:34 pm >> Last night, Victor Demarchelier, son of Patrick Demarchelier and boyfriend of Caroline Trentini, had his first photography opening with Alexandra Richards last night in New York. Carol was, unsurprisingly, his favorite lens subject, posing for a number of photos dressed only from heels to waist, but she wasn't in attendance — and as far as we know, she's not in Milan, either. She must still be visiting with her family in Brazil or recuperating from her Carnival appearance in Rio de Janeiro last week. One attendee who was a bit of a surprise, however: Grace Coddington — Vogue is sending fewer editors to Milan this season, but I would've thought the creative director would make the cut.*image: source, source
