Fashion Scoop: Samuel L. Jackson Hosts Charity Ball, The Lucky Group To Shutter, Elie Tahari Sued For Sexual Harassment
- Samuel L. Jackson kicked off London Collections: Men’s with his second One For The Boys
charity ball. Featuring a celebrity driven fashion show with models
like David Gandy, Stanley Tucci, Alice Cooper and even Luke Wilson, the
fete was set to raise funds to spread awareness about men’s cancer. For a
performance, Jackson tapped “Electric Heart” songstress, Sia. (Fashionista)
- The death knell tolls. If the rumors are correct, The Lucky Group, which owns the newly relaunched LuckyShops.com
as well as the quarterly print version, is slated to close some time
this month. The reason is said to be a lack of investment money coming
through, though that’s not confirmed. The team has already seen the
departure of the Chief Creative officer Eva Chen as well as the
company’s president. (Daily Front Row)
- If you ever have wondered where your luggage goes if you decided not
to claim it, it’s probably in Alabama. A company Called Unclaimed
Baggage Center rounds up the baggage from domestic airlines, pilfers
through it to decide what they want, dry-cleans and/or launders it,
donates what they don’t want to charity, and sells the rest in their
40,000 square foot retail facility. (Quartz)
- Designer Elie Tahari has been served with a $12 million dollar
sexual harassment lawsuit for an alleged incident that happened in 2011.
According to the suit, fashion consultant Marcy Castelgrande was
modeling a skirt for a crowd of about ten coworkers, colleagues and
supervisors. Castelgrande says that Tahari attempted to lift the skirt “above her panty line,” and sent her away when she refused. When Castelgrande reported the event to HR, she was reportedly fired within two hours. (NY Daily News)
