The fashion world is known stop and everyday there is a new scandal hitting the headlines of fashionable publications including lamaisonmme this is now a daily feature on the blog so enjoy all the latest gossip!!!!
Lam says his goodbyes to tods!!!!
Derek lam has been a designer on the rise since the start of the 21st century and in 2006 one year after his CFDA fashion fund win he took on his second label tods today it has now been confirmed that he is leaving his post at the company as creative director. Tods never was the most talked about brands it was mainly luxury leather goods which achieved publicity this year with new face of the brand anne hathaway. Derek was never very vocal in this position and quietly designed cute accessories that appealed to the masses he is now leaving the brand after 6 years as creative director!!! He now joins the list of designers that are leaving there positions this one may not be as dramatic as raf,galliano or stefano but still is an interesting story derek will of course continue to succeed with his more popular apparel line which has given him mass popularity(excusing this season in my opinion http://lamaisonme.weebly.com/1/category/derek%20lam/1.html)
Kaching for kors
A few months ago michael kors made $1.2 billion (£800 million) on the stock exchange after putting his 30 year old company for sale. The $1.2 billion dollars went directly to Michael himself and other business associates and michael still holds the majority shares could it get any better YES!!! Michael plans to make another $25 million on the stock exchange Which can only mean good things for michael. The company at the moment has an estimated value of 3 billion making it one of the largest fashion brands in america but it still has some catching up to do with the european power houses like louis vuitton who has estimated value of $80 billion dollars the richest fashion brand in the world which is run by LVMH who collectively own several top brands like dior,celine etc and are trying to buy hermes. All this makes michael seem quite small but he certainly isn't that as all these billions of dollars are in his personal bank account and is one of the worlds most acclaimed designer putting on a fab show every season!!!! http://lamaisonme.weebly.com/1/category/michael%20kors/1.html
Marc loves the kids
Marc jacobs received quite the backlash when he broke the CFDAS rules and hired two underage models who were just 14! He has spoken out several times defending himself and here are his latest comments he told life magazine "you have child actors and children who model for catalogues, whats the difference between doing commercial for peanut butter and being on a runway" marc makes a good argument and i think there was nothing wrong with him choosing two 14 year olds i love that these girls at just 14 are beautifully enough to walk in a MARC JACOBS SHOW one of the magical highlights of new york fashion they should be celebrated not criticized i would do anything to have walked in that show. But WHAT DO YOU THINK???? please comment or tweet me your opinions
Here are some pics of the best parties this nyfw!!!!

Here are some more fab expert opinions thanks to style.com. ENJOY!!!
Marc jacobs was the opposite of the magical,fun and whimsical show he showed the night before it was also the opposite of the bright sporty spring collection. The girls were very cool and had a quirky edge there was a small military vibe ad also a geek chic vibe. There was a edgy cool preppieness in the prints and those glasses there was military vibe from the hats,coats,boots and skirts. The boots were flat and made quite an impact also did the hat. There were pretty dresses in gold metallic ad leather polka dots that finished collection Overall the collection made a contrasting impact that i enjoyed!!!! LOVE THE CH
Marc Jacobs fall show was much anticipated and it certainly delivered that magical fashion moment i couldn't stop smiling all through the show there was such a whimsical chicness to it that i adored. It was certainly my best new york fashion week moment so far because it was so cinematic and fun and i thought this is why i love fashion so much it was one of those magical toe curling moments of fashion fun and magic!!!! The collections most talked about feature were those hats!!! each model paraded to the enchanted runway in a oversized dr suess like hat that made quite the impression it added a childish fun to the collection. This collection was full of references oliver,tim burton,mad hatter mary poppins, dr suess, granny chic. The song from oliver "who will buy" which created a cinematic Victorian bustling street image!!! the clothes had a very victorianish look thing of elisea doolitle in my fair lady also there was an emphasis on the hips and very mary poppin like coats!!! The shoes were pilgrim bulks made from a fine leather. The set was a magical icy kingdom that made for a very fun and cinematic collection. i will be thinking of this collection for many more months maybe even years!!! love!!!!! even though i cant really write a good review o
