Valentino bids ciao to fashion.



































Early last week, Mr Valentino has announced that he will depart from the head creative helm that is the house of Valentino. There was much speculation in the previous months that has followed up to this announcement. But it seems that Mr Valentino is departing on a high, after seeing out the season after just one more ready-to-wear and one Couture collection. A creative team has been hand picked by the master himself, with the once Gucci womens-wear creative director, Alessandra Facchinetti, heading up the team. According to Vogue UK, Ms Facchinetti 'will have back-up in the shape of Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, Valentino's accessory designers, who will continue in their current creative positions, as the house announces a shift in focus to menswear'.

It is another milestone end in fashion's history, as Mr Valentino departs the fashion limelight.

McQueen for M.A.C
























It seems that Mr Alexander McQueen has been rather a busy lad. Apparently not only does he design his bi-annual showing of his main ready-to-wear for men and women, diffusion line McQ for men and women, as well as yearly collaborations with Puma, and as reported Samsonite. Now........McQueen is collaborating with the large cosmetics house, M.A.C. Roping in make-up artist, Charlotte Tilbury, the two of them are creating a line of products for M.A.C, based on Alexander McQueen's autumn/winter 2007-8 collection show.

Well ladies the McQueen range for M.A.C will be available next month overseas, and later this year in Australia. So keep your eager eyes on local M.A.C counters near you.
