Vyshyvanka: Ukraine’s national costume conquers the catwalk
August 24, 2016 By
Fashionistas the world over are snatching up a must-have item for the “boho chic” look — an embroidered blouse or dress that is, in fact, Ukraine's national costume and new symbol of unity. It is “this summer's most sought-after item of clothing”, proclaimed the Times of London, while the New York Times advised readers to stock up on this “top of summer” fashion. The style came back out of the closet after Ukraine's 2014 pro-Western revolt pulled the ex-Soviet republic out of Russia's orbit and gave it a new sense of national pride.

Could Alber Elbaz be set to take the reins at Oscar de la Renta?
August 23, 2016 By
Oscar de la Renta has allegedly got its eye on fashion designer Alber Elbaz as a potential Creative Director, following Peter Copping's departure from the brand in July. Moroccan-born Israeli designer Elbaz helmed the Parisian house of Lanvin for 14 years, before leaving the company in October 2015 due to reported tensions with its owner Shaw-Lan Wang. Rumors abounded that Elbaz was being lined up for the new Dior post, but they proved erroneous — Dior relied on the expertise of its in-house design team until this July, when it appointed ex-Valentino designer Maria Grazia Chiuri as its head creative, and Elbaz has remained a free agent. Lanvin replaced him with the French designer Bouchra Jarrar.
