Fashion In 50 Seconds 04/09/09 Westwood Goes Bridal & More
Fashion In 50 Seconds 04/09/09 Westwood Goes Bridal & More April 9, 2009 7:05 am Vivienne Westwood's Sex In The City gown sold so well, she decided to launch an entire bridal range.  Marios Schwab blogged for British Vogue about his typical day in the studio, managing his ready to wear and Topshop lines.  Steven Meisel will make an appearance at this year's Hyères International Festival of Fashion and Photography as his work for Italian Vogue will take top billing.  Alessandro Dell’Acqua left Malo because they "don't need a marquee name" and also because IT Holding, which owns Malo, went bankrupt in February. 
April 7, 2009 1:05 pm >> MODA OPERANDI —When IT Holding filed for the Italian equivalent of bankruptcy in late February, casualties were to be expected among its fashion brands Malo and Gianfranco Ferre, not to mention its licenses.  Malo was shown in Milan as a small presentation soon after, instead of a full runway show in New York like seasons past — and the clothes couldn't hold a candle to the stunning collection designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua did for Spring 2009 back in September.  Now, the casualty is pretty clear — Dell'Acqua is leaving the brand after less than a year, and going forward, the line will be designed by a team, with a focus on its core knitwear identity.

Peter Som Cobbles Together Fall 2009 Collection; Other Designers Not So Fortunate
Peter Som Cobbles Together Fall 2009 Collection; Other Designers Not So Fortunate February 12, 2009 5:48 pm >> Peter Som has had a tough past six months, between the fallout at Bill Blass and the pull out of his eponymous lines' investor.  Two weeks ago, he wasn't even sure if he was going to be able to pull anything together for Fashion Week, but he's succeeded in producing something for Fall 2009 — a capsule collection of 16 looks, which he will be showing at private appointments.Peter's not alone in his misfortune this season — for various other labels, big and small, Fall 2009 isn't panning out so well either.  Some, like Peter, have had to cancel their runway show in favor of showroom appointments (Sari Gueron) or lookbooks (Francis by Christian Francis Roth, who just tried to stage a comeback last season).  Some are just plain nixing their shows (Benjamin Cho, Hanii Y, Sue Stemp, Rubin Singer).

Alessandro Dell'Acqua To Take Over at Malo May 29, 2008 1:38 pm >> Ch-ch-changes are in order at Malo.  Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi left the brand in April to become creative directors at Gianfranco Ferre — Malo and Ferre are both owned by IT Holding, so it's all in the family — and now their vacancy has been filled by one Alessandro Dell'Acqua.  Dell'Acqua's first collection for the Italian luxury knit company will be for the Spring 2009 season in September, and he will also continue to design his own eponymous collection.  Instead of showing Malo at New York Fashion Week, as Aquilano and Rimondi did, however, Dell'Acqua will present the line in Milan.
