Biz Buzz: Weekly Round-Up


Biz Buzz keeps its fabulously accessorized ear to the ground to provide breaking fashion news coverage.

Paris Fashion Week just ended, and with it ends Fashion Month. Trends to watch out for on the Paris runways include architectural details, sparkly gold frocks and lots of all-black ensembles. Now to wait patiently for September…

Rumor has it that Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy, is set to replace John Galliano at Christian Dior. No word on who is to replace him at Givenchy yet.

A new week, a new scandal: a former American Apparel employee is suing the CEO Dov Charney, claiming that he forced her to have sex with him repeatedly over an eight month period. This is not the first time Charney has been accused of sexual advances towards employees, but none of the previous cases were proven. This is definitely the worst accusation against him we’ve seen yet.

Super stylist Rachel Zoe tops The Hollywood Reporter’s list of the most powerful stylists in Hollywood. This can’t really come as a shock to anyone; Zoe has transformed herself from the little-known stylist of Demi Moore and Anne Hathaway to a branded machine through her show The Rachel Zoe Project and her clothing lines. Also featured on the list is Kate Young, Natalie Portman’s stylist, who comes in at number two, and Petra Flanner, stylist to Zoe Saldana and Emma Stone, at number three. See the complete list here.
