Peter Copping’s first show for Nina Ricci received raving reviews. According to WWD, Copping delivered a buoyant premiere, by far the best collection of an assistant-turned-lead-designer in recent memory.

This show, Copping insisted, was about the house’s “signature codes” — bows, lingerie, lace. Copping debuted a take on overt femininity that commingled dreamlike romanticism with a sportswear comfort level. Working in a divine palette of barely there pastels, he showed pleasantly eccentric layerings — lamé over lace over chiffon over featherweight cashmere; cotton jersey over washed silk over tulle — that boasted more personality than much of spring’s omnipresent flou. Nor was it all about wafting silks as he worked in lovely leathers inset with lace.

Copping previously spent 12 years at Louis Vuitton, so a shared sensibility with Marc Jacobs is inevitable, said WWD. Another comparison is perhaps more crucial: that to his Ricci predecessor, Olivier Theyskens, whose gorgeous, very specific dazzlers went bust at retail. Much of Copping’s lineup was as intricate as it was girlish, raising the affordability issue. The balance of whimsy and good sense might prove just the prescription for reviving Nina Ricci from its recent ailments.

The Off-Price Show was successfully launched in mainland Europe in the last week of September, in Warsaw, Poland, presenting a wide selection of fashion collections from leading clothing, accessories and footwear suppliers, and drawing buyers from over ten European countries.

The unique show, established in London for 9 years and in the USA since the mid 90’s, which focuses on offering end-of-season and surplus fashion ranges to the retail trade, has evolved from humble origins in a west London hotel at the start of the decade, and the Polish launch was the first of the overseas expansion events planned by the show’s organiser, London-based IDEX exhibitions.

Said Off-Price Show event director Buzz Carter, “The Poland launch of the Off-Price Show has gone very well indeed in challenging market conditions, establishing the show in central Europe, and opening up brand new and much needed retail markets for European fashion companies. We have immediately announced exciting plans for the next show in Poland in 2010, (June 22nd-23rd, Warsaw) and are delighted that over 50% of the new floor plan is already sold out before its official release.”

Further international launches are planned in Spain and the middle east, and announcements will be made about these new events shortly.

The next Off-Price Show is in London, UK, in March 2010.

International trade show Pitti Uomo 87 has announced that Marni will be
the menswear guest designer at its next event, which runs January 13-16 in
Florence.

The luxury house will present an exclusive fashion show for Pitti
showcasing the development of its Marni Menswear line featuring its
autumn/winter 2015 collection, which is composed of different elements
including sport, utility, and tailoring.

Consuelo Castiglioni, creative director of Marni, said: “Pitti Uomo has
always celebrated the avant-garde and experimentation. Elements which
coincide with my work with the menswear collection: to interpret the true
menswear staples through functionality and classicism, combined with
contrasting elements and unexpected details.”

Raffaello Napoleone, CEO of Pitti Immagine, added: “I am very happy that
Consuelo Castiglioni accepted our invitation to present the new look in the
Marni men’s collection on the Pitti catwalk.

“The name is one of the undisputed leaders on the international fashion
scene, and we have always admired the creativity, elegance and
nonconformity that always distinguish its style. Always keeping a watchful
eye on the market but never bending to it. In Florence, men’s clothing will
be the fulcrum of the project and I’m certain that it will be truly
fascinating.”

Pitti Uomo announces January guest designers

Additionally, Shayne Oliver’s NY-based fashion label Hood By Air will be
the Pitti special guest in January, producing a special event to showcase
its cutting-edge collection.

“I saw their first event two years ago, and ever since then I have been
struck by the unique creative process developed by the HBA,” explained Lapo
Cianchi, communications and events manager of Pitti Immagine.

Pitti Uomo will also see a performance, entitled Cloakroom, by Olivier
Saillard, the director of Palais Galliera, Musée de la Mode de la Ville de
Paris, starring Tilda Swinton.

Pitti Uomo will run from January 13-16 this season. Last year’s guest
designer was Diesel Black Gold’s creative director, Andreas Melbostad.

Last week the 12th GQ Men Of The Year awards took place, marking the return of the man’s man. After a few years of metrosexual pretty boys taking to the stage, 2009 saw the return of the tough guy. Mickey Rourke, Guy Ritchie and Jenson Button won awards, while Jason Statham, The Wire’s Dominic West, Mark Strong and William Hague were among the men handing them out.

Hollywood kingpin Harvey Weinstein looked like a fearsome Mafia don collecting his media mogul award and Ross Kemp received his gong from war veteran Colonel David Richmond who got a standing ovation.

Fashion fabric event Textile Forum broke its attendance records with over 50% in comparison to March 2009. It’s the most visitors the event attracted since the show started in 2002. Textile Forum October 2009 also featured the largest number of collections so far.

Textile Forum is dedicated to providing high quality fabrics in small minimums and often from stock. The latest edition offered a wide range of fabrics varying from wools and leathers to finest silks and shirtings. Next to regular exhibitors, the event featured new exhibitors such as Holland & Sherry and The House of Edgar.

According to Linda Laderman, organizer of Textile Forum: “We need to build on the success of this event and continue to grow organically, remaining true to our mission statement of providing high quality fabrics for the designer market. For March, we hope to have a couple more new exhibitors who will further broaden the range of fabrics on offer. In addition, our new website will be further developed to include a product finder section so that Textile Forum is a fabric resource 365 days a year.”
