Sort fiction out of fashion designer
There have been numerous rumours surrounding this possible move. Ever since big fashion boss’ daughter Delphine Arnault, daughter of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault sat front row at his menswear show in Paris.
So we will just have to wait and see, they may make an early announcement in order to sort out fact from fiction. Oh you have to love the front row rumour mill. And speaking of front rows, the man in question has been spotted out and about; last night he took prime position at the eagerly anticipated Pam Hogg show.
It wasn’t just her presence that caused quite a stir, but she had also gushed about the collection and fashion designer calling it “beautiful”. Speculation then ensued over where he might head off to. Then the penny dropped, Dior Homme has somewhat fallen off the radar, and as Delphine was sat at a menswear show rather than waiting for the women’s line, it was decided he was being groomed for Kris van Assche’s job.
She can be relied on for the fail safe fashion, constantly churning out the same cuts, fabrics and colours. But for Autumn/Winter 09 it would seem the French-born designer has had something of an epiphany.
The shows styling was also great, knee high socks were paired with towering almost stripper like heels. Hot pink long length gloves added a modern twist, whilst skinny snake effect belts added shape and definition.
The photographs in all fairness do not do the collection justice. It was a strong range, with a heavy emphasis on colour and design. The pieces were right on trend, those sci-fi shoulders were even present.
