Claude Montana brand relaunched?

[machinist|]

I tried to seek for the Claude Montana mega thread that used to be here somewhere but was unable to locate it, therefore I started a new topic.

Found this accidently couple of days ago; http://www.montana.fr/

The site is perfectly functioning, and there is fw 07 collection on the site (nothing groundbreaking, but it bears some of the Montana's trademarks) & ss 08 titled as ''coming soon''.

I remember seeing last Montana in the begin of 2000, after that it was long hiatus. Can anyone confirm wether it's Claude himself behind the collections or someone else?

There's a really great interview with Montana in the spring 2007 issue of Fantastic Man. It mentions Montana has had to design for the Montana Blu collection for 10 years in his contract. That was in 1997 so it will be up in a day or so. The two collections on the site may be his last two, perhaps he did one for fall 08 as well.
