>> Cacharel Taps Cedric Charlier of Lanvin to Replace Eley Kishimoto — Spring 2010 Paris Fashion Week is shaping up to be full of new blood, between Phoebe Philo at Celine, Peter Copping at Nina Ricci, Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Archs at Ungaro, and now Cedric Charlier, who has been appointed as creative director at Cacharel. Charlier, who has spent the last six years working under Alber Elbaz, presents his first collection for the brand Oct. 3. [Telegraph UK]

>> MODA OPERANDI —One year after taking over at Cacharel, Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, or Eley Kishimoto, are on their way out — Spring 2009 was their last collection.  Both parties labeled the split as amicable, but the designers noted that there was "a conflict over creative vision" and differences about "where the line should be going."  No surprise here — it can't be easy to design under the label's CEO Jean Bousquet, who founded and used to design the label himself.  [WWD]
