Fashion Scoop: Anthony Vaccarello Named Head of Versus Versace, David Beckham Returns With H&M, Olivia Palermo Collaborates With Aspinal of London.

More changes are sliding down the pipeline for Nylon. After a major overhaul of their most top-tier management — that’s a new CEO, new owners, new editor-in-chief and more — the publication tapped a new head of TV and video, who was formerly at Conde Nast.  That person (Shruti Ganguly) has decided to nix Nylon TV and instead do original programming that is more integrated into the entire site and brand.  Former projects of Gangly include Vogue’s 73 Questions as well as short films for James Franco, (Fashionista)

 

• After a few seasons of capsule collections by various designers, Versus Versace has tapped Anthony Vaccarello to be the house’s creative director. Vacarrello was the latest to design a collection for the brand, but had been preceded by M.I.A. and J.W. Anderson.  Vaccarello will design under the artistic direction of Donatella Versace and says that the brand will not adhere to the typical fashion schedules, releasing collections only when they are ready.

• Victoria’s Secret has a busy year for 2015. In addition to doing a swimwear show this year in South America and their typical lingerie show, the company is doing an ad for the Super Bowl. Candice Swanepoel, Lily Aldridge, Behati Prinsloo, Karlie Koss, Alessandra Ambrosia and Adriana Lima are the angels chosen to don football pads for the Don’t Drop The Ball slot. (Yahoo Style)

• David Beckham is back with H&M, but is sadly way more clothed. He started with underwear, body wear and swimwear and now he’s expanding into every day apparel.  The former football star has edited a collection of Modern Essentials including bomber jackets, tees and jeans for the retailer due out March 5.  This of course only feeds into the idea that he’ll be launching his own eponymous fashion empire soon.  (The Fashion Spot)

• To continue building on what is clearly going to be an eventual lifestyle brand, Olivia Palermo has teamed up Aspinal of London on a limited edition tote. The tote has tech capabilities including phone and iPad charging. Only 30 bags will be made and all proceeds will be donated to charity. (Fashion Monitor)
