Street Style Picks: Hailey Clauson

Not only is she a stunning and gorgeous creature, but her sense of style has an intonation of its own. She definitely enjoys mixing simple, sophisticated pieces with vehement accessories - such as her love for black, leather boots and murky bags. At only sixteen years of age, she presents and exudes such a sharp cohesion in her choices of attire. Very à la mode!

I am in dire need of this bag! It is impeccably made with real alligator and is enumerated with beautiful gold embellishments on the front and on the inside of the bag. However, it retails for about 39,000 US dollars on The Row's website and $43,000 on net-a-porter.com. As well, it has been sold out until further notice (like I can afford it, anyways). Maybe I'll just live through it by photos instead..

It's Official: Marc Jacobs and Others Turn Down Dior

Looks like the rumors that have been circulating around the industry for months of Marc Jacobs and other designers (Haider Ackermann, Christian Lacroix, Ricardo Tisci, Raf Simons, to name a few) taking

over the position of creative director for Dior has been put to rest -- no one wants Dior. WWD has reported that negotiations between Jacob's occurrent house, LVMH, and Dior have ended in an opposition. Apparently, Marc Jacobs wanted to bring his whole team from Louis Vuitton to Dior to "transfer the aesthetic from one house to another", but Dior's president, Sidney Toledano, couldn't confer with Jacob's request. Besides, if Marc Jacobs did leave for Dior, who would take over as the creative director for Louis Vuitton? With all the profit that he's been bringing into the house, it is a very wise decision for him to stay where he is. The old saying still holds true: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 

As for now, however, the house will still be under the designs of behind-the-scenes designer Bill Gaytten until further notice. And the question still stands: who could take over Dior; who could possibly maintain Dior's aesthetics while levering it as a brand into a new decade? However, the real question everyone should be asking is: who wants to?
