Though Prabal Gurung, Nicki Minaj and florals have gotten their fair share of attention at New York fashion week thus far, the will he or won’t he rumors surrounding Marc Jacobs and Dior are leading the gossip pack. Neither LVMH or Marc Jacobs have commented on the rumors, which started about a month ago, but that hasn’t stopped WWD from spilling more details on the alleged negotiations. A source tells them that talks have turned tough—though not so tough that anyone’s giving up—as Jacobs and his partner, Robert Duffy, ask for $10 million. With couture collections added on top of ready-to-wear, as well as his own collections, Dior would prove substantially more work than Louis Vuitton and require more time in Paris for both Duffy and Jacobs—which means less time with the Marc Jacobs empire in New York. The fashion crowd may be obsessed with the move, and what it’d mean for the rest of LVMH’s brand, but investors are pretty nonchalant. One banks’ head of consumer brands said, “In this day and age, for a brand the size of Louis Vuitton or Christian Dior, we tend to believe that artistic directors only account for a small portion of the brand’s attribute. We therefore do not immediately factor in a change in artistic director into our valuation of the brand.”

There was no shortage of rock’n’roll references at the Y-3 spring ’12 show: The electrifying soundtrack, the Kurt Cobain-inspired plaid (one pair of pants fused together sweats with red checked fabric, making it look like the model had just pulled the ultimate ‘90s grunge move and tied her shirt around her waist), and yes, even massive arm tattoos. The front row reflected as much, with music progeny (Peaches Geldof) and hitmakers (Omarion) seated besides the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Pitt.
Also there was David Macklovitch, aka Dave 1 of Chromeo. As half of one of the catchiest electro-funk duos around, we had to ask: What’s his ultimate Fashion Week playlist? “I would put ‘Body Work’ by the Dream, ‘The Bay’ by Metronomy, and ‘Big Bad Wolf’ by Ducksauce. I think those three are cool,” said Macklovitch. He went on to add, “All three are fierce, to use an adjective that I will never use outside of Fashion Week; I go through the whole year never using the word fierce, but for this one week of the year I’ll describe these songs as fierce.”

When the lights went down inside the Plaza Hotel’s ballroom last night for Thakoon‘s spring summer show the soundtrack said “Old Western” while the curated smell was more suited to an Indian spice market. The vibrant collection followed suit, starting with cowboy hats and yoked western shirts before morphing into sari-inspired dresses saturated in bright colors and flecked with gold. So how did the designer get from one point to the next? “I started with the whole cowboy thing,” Thakoon said, backstage after his show, “the idea of romantic America, this notion that’s sort of lost really, not America anymore but this coolness of cowboys, this free spirit. Then, when we were doing print research—looking at bandannas and paisleys—that kind of led us to India.” Like fall’s winning collection, which also merged two disparate cultures—the Masai and Versailles—it worked. The pink hair and colorful cowboy hats made for a fun runway experience but it’s the little dresses we expect to see everywhere come spring. “I always feel like I do red carpet in a way that’s not red carpet,” Thakoon said when asked about the collection’s Hollywood-potential. “It’s like our evening stuff is usually with flats.” Maybe that’s why we like it so much? As for exactly which fashion forward starlet he’d love to see don a spring frock first, he was speechless: “My brain is fried.”

THAT JE NE SAIS QUOI
The next stop on our fashion design school travels take us to ESMOD, in the land of the eternally chic (Paris of course!).
Stars, stripes, alphabet soup and more bring in this week’s Statement Prints collection and Styled Outfits with a thunderous roar. Full of fall essentials in loud but memorable patterns, you’ll be sure to make an impression from class to the fashion week stomping grounds of the Jardin des Tuileries. A bit of rock, a bit of M.I.A., and a jumble of references including galactic phenomena compose the bulk of the looks—giving you the best of the season in all its printed glory.
Be sure not to miss the collection’s crown jewels—a teal chiffon dress in Big Bang of star-studded print matter and fiery fall coat—the stuff of lecture legend!
