Fashion Scoop: Mo’ne Davis Designs Sneakers, Anna Wintour To Revamp Tony Awards, Marc By Marc Jacobs To Close.
- Last year one of the faces that rose above the rest belonged to teenage Mo’ne Davis, who killed it in the Little League World Series and then snagged the cover of Sports Illustrated,
making herself the youngest athlete to do so. Yes, she’s got a Disney
Channel Original Movie coming out but in addition to that she’s got a
line of sneakers on the way. With proceeds benefitting Because I Am A Girl, a charity to help girls in impoverished countries and fight gender inequality, the styles will run you $75. (MTV)
- Did you intern for Conde Nast between June 13th, 2007 and December
29th, 2014? If so then you likely already know the company has reached a
settlement where they plan to disperse backpay to unpaid interns.
Interns could earn anywhere from $700 to $1,900 a piece from the
settlement, depending on the type of internship and whether or not they
received a stipend. These figures could change depending on the amount
of individuals who opt in to the settlement. (WWD)
- In other Conde Nast related news, you might remember not long ago
that Anna Wintour called out the Tony’s red carpet for having pretty
horrid fashion. Well apparently they’ve asked her to buck up or shut
up. Reports indicate that the awards have asked Wintour to come on
board to help add some chic to the proceedings and she’s agreed. It’s
supposed to be an “unpaid, uncredited” role but as Ursula so eloquently phrased it in The Little Mermaid: “You can’t get something for nothing, you know?” (Page Six)
- And fashion musical chairs goes on! Last week we reported that Peter
Dundas was out at Pucci and in at Roberto Cavalli — which means yes,
the designer himself is out(though not to be confused with ousted).
Well of course that left a seat open at Pucci which is now filled at
Pucci which Massimo Giorgetti is filling. Name sound familiar? Yes, he
founded MSGM. But no, that doesn’t make for another open seat; Giorgetti
will be splitting his time. (Racked)
- Last week a rumor surfaced that Marc by Marc Jacobs was dunzo and
now that rumor has been confirmed. In a move that is preempting an IPO
listing, the Marc Jacobs brand is eating its younger sibling. Don’t
think that you won’t be able to get the products though, the categories
will now all be covered under the Marc Jacobs moniker with the addition
of products that fill the void between Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marc
Jacobs proper. There’s been no word on what will happen to the MbMJ
creative team which includes Katie Hiller and Luella Bartley. (Fashionista)
