Fashion In 50 Seconds 12/01/08 Black Friday Turnout, Party Planning On The Cheap, Gucci Group Shuffle, Sprouse Collab
We are happy to report that retailers, overall, did quite well this Black Friday despite the fact that many thought there might be zero turnout at all. WWD reports that outlet and discounters did exceptionally well but even department stores saw an impressive turnout.
There's nothing more fashionable than a well-planned dinner party--thirty dollar budget or no. The NY Times put a world renowned event planner to just that task and the results, we have to say, were quite stylish.
You could call it the ol' Gucci Group shuffle. Fredrick Lukoff, formerly of Lanvin (extra-GG), has accepted a position as the new president and chief executive officer of Stella McCartney. Lukoff will be replacing Marco Bizzarri who will go on to join Bottega Veneta.
Marc Jacobs (a la Louis Vuitton) is heading up a new collaboration, this one resurrected from the Vuitton archives in honor of a retrospective at Deitch Projects. Jacobs' 2001 collaboration with artist Stephen Sprouse will be reworked and re-released--giving fashion an optimistic dose of day-glo and graffiti prints come January 01.

Quotes From The WWD/DSN CEO Summit
"The more pure the message, the more compelling it is to consumers. The more consistently it is communicated across all mediums, the greater the brand equity created. Anything that did not fit the brand vision would be left behind. This was a fundamental change for Burberry."
-Burberry's Angela Ahrendt
"Yes, the logo has played a fundamental role in the luxury industry in Japan because-- it may sound like a paradox-- it was something that could identify you as a unique person, but also something that could make you belong to a group. That was fundamentally behind the huge success of Vuitton and Gucci and Chanel."
-President and cheif executive officer of Bottega Veneta, Patrizio di Marco
"I remember sitting that little restaurant in the hotel trying to think about an opening [to a speech], and I remember asking for some dim sum, and I asked for red spicy sauce. The waitress told me, "We have ketchup now.""
-Alber Elbaz of Lanvin
"We tend to see things through the industry's eyes and that's bad. You need to see things through your customer's eyes."
-Urban Outfitters Glen Senk

The Bangled Arm
Marc Jacobs had lacquered baubles, Alexander Wang went industrial bling, Burberry did wooden arm candy, Gianfranco Ferre showed off space age trinkets, Dries Van Noten went for the gold and Louis Vuitton layered it on. From New York to Milan to Paris big bold bangles are an exciting accessories trend sure to weigh down the arms of socialites everywhere come Spring 2009.
