Marni and Current/Elliott will be launching a co-branded line of denim later this year. “The product we did is not classic,” hinted Marni chief executive Gianni Castiglioni.

Kate Moss has signed on to star in a ballet film with Mikhail Baryshnikov that will be shown during a fund-raising event and as a gallery installation later this year.

Cathy Horyn calls Milan Fashion Week "an eternity of bad clothes crammed into four days." Adding that "six years after Tom Ford bowed out at Gucci, Italian fashion hasn’t recovered its magic and energy yet."

Meanwhile buyers at the Milan shows were pleased with "solid collections, easing up on sex and flash to focus on heritage values and investment pieces."

Coco Rocha announced her engagement to boyfriend James Conran.

Although our focus may have shifted to the Men's Spring 2010 shows, the Resort 2010 collections are still coming in. Marni's resort offering was revealed yesterday and shows off Consuelo Castiglioni’s signature prints and let-loose silhouettes. That said, Castiglioni never fails to gives us a much needed dose of intellectual fashion optimism. This collection is full of items that Marni fans will love--boxy printed blouses, wide leg trousers, statement necklaces and irreverent footwear. Check out our favorites in the gallery below.

Marni Opens A New York Flagship Uptown, But Will You Be Able To Find It?

Today WWD reported that a second Marni flagship has opened in New York between 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue on 67th Street. Somehow both the reporter and Consuelo Castiglioni have convinced themselves that this is off the beaten path even though, in truth, the area is one of the most dense retail zones in all of Manhattan. Probably the country. Probably the world. That aside, it's exciting that Marni has opened a second flagship considering the other one is all the way downtown. Ah, but there's a catch. The two stores will be stocked and curated according to their geographical profile so the Carrie Bradshaw types (who dress downtown but live uptown) will still have to cab-it down to Mercer Street to go shopping.
