It’s worth taking a look at Ralph Rucci’s Fall/Winter 2008 collection:
Vogue Editor Anna Wintour Makes Worst Dressed List:
“Vogue editor Anna Wintour has long been considered an arbiter of taste stateside, but she isn’t getting much love in her native UK: In what is no doubt a shameless publicity ploy . . . the Daily Mail has anointed the austere bob-rocking editor to its worst-dressed list. ‘Despite her huge resources,’ says the Mail, Wintour ‘never looks as though she is enjoying what she is wearing: her hair is too rigid, her back too straight.’”
The Secret Success of Eskander:
“Eskandar, a small designer brand with a devout following, has a growing footprint at Bergdorf Goodman . . . ‘We are a little-known brand, and we don’t do much in the way of advertising,’ designer Eskandar Nabavi said at the March 6 opening of the shop. ‘But we have a very high turnover at Bergdorf Goodman. We are kind of a secret success.’ . . . ‘We are extremely proud of our relationship with Eskandar,’ said Jim Gold, Bergdorf’s chief executive officer. ‘He has his own aesthetic. It’s a multicultural, eclectic sensibility, yet extremely luxurious. And the label is ours exclusively in Manhattan.’”
