>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Fall 2008 campaigns brought a wave of supermodels and for Spring 2009, at least one brand isn't over the nineties girls yet: Ana Claudia Michels, who opened the Givenchy show earlier this month, is jetting into New York to shoot the brand's campaign with Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin tomorrow. No word as to whether it's an only girl campaign, but if so, I'm sorry to see Riccardo Tisci's favorite Mariacarla Boscono go. [RG Vogue]

UPDATE: Mariacarla Boscono, Lara Stone, and Lakshmi Menon are said to be joining Ana Claudia at the shoot. [TFS]

Bruno Hits Two More Paris Shows and a Party

>> Sacha Baron Cohen's successful stint as Bruno at Stella McCartney yesterday must have emboldened him, because now he's all over the map. Last night, he was filming at the Givenchy party, and today, he tried to get into Vanessa Bruno wearing a sailor suit and throwing an anchor, but was refused entry.

He was able to get into Jean Charles de Castelbajac, though, and antics ensued: "He whipped out a fold out chair, placed it in front of the front rowers and started writing love letters to girls in the audience. Then he jumped on stage shouting into his mobile phone and walked down the catwalk with the last model."

Givenchy Stays in the Black for Spring 2009

fashionologie — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 17:18:07 -0700

>> Keep the hard-edged black leather, trade in the religious iconography of Fall for cowboy couture, and you've got Riccardo Tisci's vision of Spring. The collection already has at least one early adopter in the form of Carine Roitfeld, and she's not the only top brass taking note: at least four LVMH executives sat front row, indicating that Givenchy may be moving on up in importance for the group. So will the bondage tops, denim and leather chaps, and peekaboo dresses catch on? With most of the fashion crowd, for sure — except maybe Cathy Horyn, who called the collection "gluttonous" and a "mess."

>> INSIDER WIRE —Carine Roitfeld is often known to wear pieces right after they've been on the runway, but as the fashion cycle gets faster and faster, so does her turnaround rate. This past February during Paris Fashion Week, she got to wear the much-coveted Fall 2008 Yves Saint Laurent boots before they debuted on the runway, and this morning, she did it again, showing up to Karl Lagerfeld in a Spring 2009 Givenchy cape that debuted on the runway this evening.

Heat Hits Couture Week Like a Plague

fashionologie — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:16:54 -0700

>> Paris is sizzling . . . and not necessarily in a good way. The city is experiencing a heat wave right in time for couture, and the weather is messing with everyone's cool and collected fronts.

Reports first came yesterday that the sun beating down through the glass-ceilinged Grand Palais, venue to Chanel, had attendees "sweating so uncontrollably that they downed the petit bottles of Evian waiting on every seat within minutes of entering." And indeed, watching the video of the show, the number of programs being used as fans is so great, it almost distracts from the clothes passing by.

Givenchy hosted the same problem — programs doubling as fans for the entire front row, models had to be fanned backstage — it even got to Riccardo Tisci, who wiped his face off as he was posing for photos and told his publicist, "We have to do something. I am melting."

Riccardo Tisci Readies For a Vacation with Givenchy Fall 2008 Couture

fashionologie — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:38:55 -0700

>> Riccardo Tisci is taking a trip to Peru in August, and his anticipation birthed the Incan prints and alpaca blanket stripes that pepper his latest couture collection for Givenchy.

Highlighter shades of fuchsia and violet provided shocking punctuation amongst Tisci's usual color palette of neutrals. The emerging trends of knee-length leggings, transparency, and lace were all present along with the signature Tisci for Givenchy leather jackets and oversized hats. But I have to say, amongst all the draped jersey and deconstructed shapes, the two standout looks were similar pale, choppily-fringed minidresses.
