I <3 Mr. Brad Goreski


The always dapper and amazingly stylish Brad Goreski (Rachel Zoe's assistant) got some prime real estate on Jak & Jil today. The man is killing it because JUST YESTERDAY he was also featured in Bill Cunningham's "On The Street" for the New York Times (Brad was just one slide before Jason Wu). He's probably wearing head-to-toe Band of Outsiders (I own the blue oxford he's wearing in this photo) but, and I can't believe I'm saying this, I think I'd like his briefcase a lot more if it DIDN'T have the Chanel emblem so prominently displayed. But who am I to question the sartorial choices of such an icon?

Word on the Street: Gareth for Dior?!?!

jumping for joy!

The rumors first began circulating earlier this year, right after Gareth Pugh held a runway show for his first menswear collection. The reviews were great and sitting front row was none other than Delphine Arnault, the daughter of LVMH chief Bernard Arnault. People began speculating what her attendance meant for Pugh: would he be picked up by LVMH? That appeared to be the most logical (and most probable) explination. However, others suggested that LVMH might be considering Pugh as a replacement for Kris Van Assche (it's no secret that his work as head designer for Dior Homme has been less than satisfactory....Hedi Slimane left very large boots to be filled). Weeks went by and the rumors eventually died down. Until now, that is! With London Fashion Week under way, sources close to Pugh are saying that he will be announcing his appointment at Dior Homme any day now. Keep 'em crossed folks!

What we can expect Pugh for Dior Homme to look like...ooohhhhhh
