Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford was in Milan today to see the Spring 2010 presentation from Emporio Armani, which mixed things up a little with a few splashes of orange amid the well-tailored menswear.
Yesterday wasn't just a big day for Katie Holmes, in fact, another celebrity Spring 09 ad campaign dropped--namely, Victoria Beckham for Emporio Armani Underwear. In the press release for the campaign, Giorgio Armani said, "I chose Victoria Beckham to launch our new global Emporio Armani Women's Underwear campaign because she is a stylish and intriguing woman. Great underwear is alluring and provocative, and so I wanted to work with someone who would make a real impression." The full ad campaign will be featured in magazines next month.

Its a good thing the Prada IPO has been pushed back as sticking to a core money making business has never been something at which the brand excells. And often to very positive effect. Prada's new art project with favored architect Remm Koohlhas? Its called Transformer, which will be unveiled in Seoul, South Korea, next year. Transformer is a tetrahedron structure in lieu of a theater that will accommodate cultural, artistic and fashion events Prada is organizing. If Prada has Koolhas and Chanel has Zaha Hadid which duelling fashion + architect team is the Autobots. And more importantly who are the Decepticons?
