Luxury News In Brief – 11/3/10


The Fashion Week Buzz-O-Meter is back (see last Thursday’s MO Down for more details) and the trinity, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent, are receiving the biggest ‘online buzz’; with YSL leading LV. Click here for more info.

LVMH’s Celine is also receiving positive feedback from the Buzz-O-Meter. A Wall Street Journal article was also full of praise for the fashion label, saying it was showing signs of a major resurgence due to former Chloe designer Phoebe Philo. To us, it seems like everyone is banking on Philo to create a ‘Chloe-esque’ moment…

And if, like us, you’re still curious about why Carine Roitfeld was banned from Balenciaga’s Paris show (see our March 8 blog), there are two theories circulating: 1) possible copyright dispute, 2) a personality clash after French Vogue fired Marie Amelie Sauvé. Click here for all the details. We are working on another theory and we will come back to you with that...!
