Fashion news - Jean-Paul Gaultier to leave Hermés

For all the Hermés lovers out there, you might be interested to know - French luxury house have announced that Jean-Paul Gaultier is to step down as its women's ready-to-wear designer and will be succeeded by Lacoste artistic director Christophe Lemaire.
Gaultier wants to concentrate on his own brand after seven years with Hermés. His last collection for spring-summer 2011 will be presented in October while Lemaire's first autumn/winter 2011 collection for Hermès will be presented next spring. 
I am also going to take this Hermés moment to show you one of my big loves..The Collier de Chine. I know it is not the latest accessory even though they have launched new versions in leather and solid silver but it is a classic and sadly still on my wish list!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

Another snippet of fashion news: Sarah Burton has been appointed creative director of the Alexander McQueen brand. She had worked in the design studio with Lee Alexander McQueen since 1996 and had been Head of Design - Womenswear since 2000. So it looks like the brand will be in good hands..
