Fashion Scoop: KimYe And Nori Are Fashion's First Family, Nina Garcia Says Latino Heritage Helped Career, Hood By Air To Stage Third Spring 2015 Presentation.

• Even though there was a brief scuffle when they blurred him out of their televised wedding special, KimYe and Andre Leon Talley have a lovey-dovey relationship with one another. The latest show of that affection: Talley tapping them as the “first fashion family” alongside daughter North West. In a piece for ‘Zappos Couture,’ the verbose editor notes the trio’s Paris Fashion Week looks as a crowning moment. What do you think? Do they deserve the title? (StyleBlazer)

• Stefano Gabbana and Domencio Dolce have been found innocent of the tax evasion charges brought against them. In their latest and last appeal to the Cassazione — Italy’s equivalent to the Supreme Court — all charges were dismissed against the designers on the basis that the criteria used to find their holding company as a fictitious entity were flawed. So no prison garb for those two. (The Fashionisto)

• Nina Garcia is one of the most powerful Latina women in the fashion industry. As the creative director of Marie Claire and a judge on Project Runway, her influence shapes not only a magazine but also the careers of emerging designers. Getting her proper start in fashion as an intern at Perry Ellis, Garcia notes that her “otherness” or Latino heritage, gives her an advantage to other editors. “I think my Latino culture has equipped me with a different point of view than the rest of my counter parts and seeing things from a different perspective has helped me a lot,” she said.

• And for her latest accolade: the UK’s most successful entrepreneur of 2014. Victoria Beckham has come quite a long way from her Posh Spice days. For her second act, she has built her fashion business into such a force that because of the number of jobs she has created, strong sales and her estimated wealth overall, is being singled out as the most successful entrepreneur of the year. Kudos! (Telegraph)

• So far, Hood by Air has already hosted two showings for their Spring 2015 show, one in Paris and the other here in New York. And now, they’ve announced their third and final showing with a surprise twist. Done in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art, the event will be open to the public with a ticket price of $25. And while there won’t be any new pieces on view — expect wares from the other two components — Shayne Oliver has performers like Boychild and Mykki Blanco lined up as well as some sort of “humannequin” installation. The show is Thursday. (Fashionista)
