H&M's next designer collaboration will be with Lanvin on collections of womenswear and menswear hitting stores November 23, the chain announced overnight in a press release. Alber Elbaz will design the ladies' collection while Lucas Ossendrijver will design the men's. Elbaz said in May that he hadn't considered doing a fast-fashion collection, and last year said of mass-market collaborations: "I have a problem to do a collection that is a secondary line. I mean, you don't want to be the stepsister. You want to be Cinderella. Show me one girl who wants to be the stepsister."

In his new book, Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons for Making It Work, Tim Gunn shares a little story about the time he saw Anna Wintour being carried out of the Peter Som show by bodyguards, perhaps to avoid taking the stairs or elevator like a common person. The Daily News accuses the book of being deceptively titled, since mixed in with the life lessons are some gossipy bits like this. But Tim Gunn: deceptive? That's like accusing an evergreen of being orange.

In conversation, Gunn amplifies the charges. Of Anna Wintour's diva-like antics — including allegedly being carried down the stairs at one fashion event like an ancient queen — Gunn says, "It’s insane that people don’t call her out on the things she does. Is it fear? I was certainly afraid of her. When her office called me, I thought I’d have to go into the witness protection program."

It would seem hard to make a sweatsuit ill-fitting (isn't that the point sometimes?), but those are among the complaints retailers had at the beginning of the year about Juicy Couture. Retailers alleged that the designs were also stale, on top of the fit issues. In the spring, the company hired Erin Fetherston to consult and design a capsule collection of dresses launching this holiday season, but it may have been too little too late, now that many major retailers have either dropped Juicy Couture clothing or cut back on orders for the fall season. WWD breaks down the losses:

A spot check of stores revealed that Saks Fifth Avenue dropped the Juicy Couture line at the New York flagship for fall; Bloomingdale’s flagship cut way back on its Juicy department on the contemporary floor; Nordstrom passed on the apparel line for fall; Bergdorf Goodman no longer carries the line, and Neiman Marcus has dropped the line in several stores, such as White Plains, N.Y. and Beverly Hills.
