read comments (1)Balenciaga Banned Carine Roitfeld
03 6th, 2010 Author: adminThis is shocking, Balenciaga banned Carine Roitfeld the French Vogue editor in chief and her team. WWD reports :
In other Balenciaga news, noticeably absent from Thursday’s front row was French Vogue editor in chief Carine Roitfeld and her team. They were barred from the show. “We’re blacklisted,” Roitfeld said with a shrug at Nina Ricci later in the day. “It’s too bad, it’s a beautiful house and it’s French. I hope that it’s not forever.” She noted Balenciaga no longer advertises in the magazine or lends it clothes, but stopped short of giving any reason for the rift. “Ask them,” she offered. A Balenciaga spokesman declined comment.
Roitfeld added that the label no longer lends them clothes or advertises in the magazine, but did not say what she did to make them so upset. Armani banned Horyn for not writing positive reviews and supposedly making “unnecessarily sarcastic comments” about his friends and family. French Vogue’s offense may have been something like breaking up a Balenciaga look. Stylist Venetia Scott spoke not too long ago about the present-day nature of styling for magazines, and how houses often try to forbid magazines from mixing their pieces with those from other labels, which entirely defeats the point of styling.

Two Super models trying their hands at designing. The ladies are doing special one-off collections that are probably going to go for a ton on eBay.
