>> Thakoon Does Jewelry for Tasaki; Moises de la Renta Rumored for Mango —Just as his contract with Hogan has expired, Thakoon has taken up a new responsibility: creative director for Japanese fine jeweler Tasaki, the world's biggest pearl supplier. This is his first major foray into jewelry, and the Thakoon for Tasaki collection will be unveiled in February. Moises de la Renta is also reportedly on deck for a partnership — he's "about to ink a deal" with Mango. [Style File, WWD]
Mango
>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Mango seems to have a thing for offspring — Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld is being replaced as face of the brand by Jeremy Irons's son Max, who was photographed by Franca Sozzani's son Francesco Carrozzini (left) in a Barcelona studio against a white backdrop. Irons joins Scarlett Johansson, who is the Fall 2009 women's face for Mango. [WWD]
Julia, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Tango for Mango Spring 2009
>> Last season, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld mugged for British chain Accessorize, and this season both she and her brother, Vladimir, are appearing in ads for Spanish chain Mango. This isn't the first time they've worked together for a brand — Julia art directed the Fall 2008 Rock & Republic campaign that Vladimir appeared in — but as the mind recalls, this is the first time they've been faces for a brand together. Carine's influence runs through both — Julia is styled like a portrait of her mother in these ads, with the kohl-rimmed eyes and brown hair flopping over one eyes; and Vladimir has taken his mother's favorite cause, amfAR, as his own — he's curating a photography exhibit during Fashion Week to benefit the foundation.
