• Marco Zanini is now out at Schiaparelli.  In line with the latest rash of rumors, the designer who has only been working at the label for a year, has likely already been replaced. The brand released a statement that said “Schiaparelli will announce its new creative director soon.” Looks like we won’t be playing “who’s on next” for long. (Fashionista)

• One of A$AP Rocky’s latest tracks, “Multiply,” got tongues wagging when he called Hood by Air and Been Trill wack.  As the artist had been thought to be a supporter of both brands prior, people wondered about why he had suddenly done a 180. After asserting that no we did not misunderstand him, Rocky’s reason for spitting the lyrics was simple: “Because I can. I birthed it, so I can kill it.” Alrighty. (NY Mag)

• Alessandra Ambrosio is taking her expertise from living on the beaches of Brazil and Malibu to launch a swimwear line.  Expect colorful, embellished pieces that include both Brazilian and American style cuts. (StyleBlazer)

• After working at Balenciaga and having just started his legacy at Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Ghesquiere hopes to one day to start his own label. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to do it,” he said. ” I would like to do it, but each thing in its time. Today I dedicate myself to Louis Vuitton without forgetting that I have wishes, desires.” (The Fashion Spot)
