>> The winner of the upcoming cycle 15 of America's Next Top Model - which premieres Sept. 8 on the CW - is receiving a Vogue Italia cover plus two in-book editorials instead of a Seventeen cover, the prize of season's past.

Designers Roberto Cavalli, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Zac Posen; photographers Matthew Rolston, Patrick Demarchelier, and Francesco Carrozzini (Franca Sozzani's son); Karolina Kurkova, Margherita Missoni, and Kyle Hagler of IMG Models, plus Franca Sozzani herself, editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, will all appear as guest judges for cycle 15.

Margherita to Become Missoni Creative Director Within Two Years?

fashionologie — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:30:37 PDT

>> Alongside acting as brand ambassador, Margherita Missoni recently stepped up her Missoni duties as accessories designer of the brand and debuted her first Missoni handbag collection back in May.

Shortly, it sounds like she could be taken on an even bigger role; her mother Angela says she is considering stepping down as Missoni creative director within the next two years: "I was on a bus yesterday and I thought for the first time there are so many things I want to do with my life and whenever Margherita feels ready I'd let her take over. Who knows what the future will bring? Maybe Theresa will run things or perhaps my nephew or my son. Margherita has this incredible passion for the business and for fashion though - she would be excellent."

It's family tradition: Angela took over from her mother »

The small five-piece lineup features bags named after (and inspired by) Missoni's best friends-a crocodile, leather, and suede patchwork shoulder bag (called "Euge" for Eugenie Niarchos), a ladylike wool and lace carryall in red ("Tats" for Tatiana Santo Domingo), a green quilted leather bag with chain straps (the "LSD" for Lauren Santo Domingo), and the matching "Coco B" and "Coquine" (both named after Coco Brandolini). The bags are priced from $1,275 for the LSD to $3,140 for the Euge and for an extra $185, you can adorn each with detachable Missoni pompoms.

Interview Keeps the 40th Anniversary Celebration Going with a Little Subbasement Revelry

fashionologie — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:09:15 PST

>> Two floors below the ground level entrance to the Hudson Hotel, Interview celebrated its 40th anniversary last night by christening Good Units, the hotel's new club. The space still had remnants of its past life as a 1930s YMCA - wooden bleachers sat in the middle of the main room, providing seating for the likes of Subversive Jewelry's Justin Giunta and Edita Vilkeviciute - and above, where the room's indoor track used to be, party-goers got an eagle's eye view of the dancing going on below. Archival Interview covers and graffiti by Brian Ermanski on the room's four walls gave the party a '90s vibe.

The crowd was teeming with notables, ready to kick-start Fashion Week. Vena Cava's Lisa Mayock and Shipley and Halmos's Jeff Halmos found a less crowded corner near the bar to chat by while Halmos's design partner Sam Shipley fetched drinks. Becka Diamond and Keegan Singh, arms linked, navigated the crowd and later, Singh's boyfriend Eddie Borgo appeared. Giovanna Battaglia, in a red and black leopard-print minidress, grooved to the music, while Derek Blasberg and Kate Bosworth, nearby, animatedly broke it down before scurrying off into the crowd. Mary-Kate Olsen, who's gearing up for her first The Row presentation, as styled by Marie-Amelie Sauve, and Chloe Sevigny both chatted with Lazaro Hernandez. A dark-haired Martin Cohn teetered in those Nina Ricci platform heels. And Dasha Zhukova, fresh off the purchase of a $19.5 million home in Los Angeles last month, flitted by in an emerald fitted coat. All in all, not a bad way to start out the week.
