Jack Mccollough and Lazaro Hernandez (Proenza Schouler Gay

They're dating tbh.

 

[lepetitcouturier]

They're dating tbh.

They broke up a while ago. And most women designers are straight. The industry is run by straight women and gay men with a little sprinkle of straight men in there.

 

[valliaddict]

I know this is such an uncomfortable question, but are Dean & Dan of Dsquared2 dating anyone? I've heard a lot of things about gay twins & how they sometimes date each other. Sorry if I come across as an ignorant, offensive fool.

Wang Divorce

VERA WANG has separated from her husband of 23 years, Arthur Becker - but will continue to work with him at her eponymous label.

Becker, a former stockbroker, has advised the wedding dress designer on the growth of her business since they married in 1989 - but became a full-time member of the management team in 2010.

"Vera Wang and Arthur Becker have mutually and amicably agreed to separate," Vera Wang president, Mario Grauso, said yesterday. "They remain devoted parents to their daughters."

A friend of the designer's, who asked not to be identified, told WWD: "They will not let this impact the running of the company. They have worked too hard to build it up."

The couple has two grown-up daughters, Cecilia and Josephine.
