four more collections isn't a very long time. thats only going to be two years. I am sure they plan ahead with these things and after that he will be at ysl and pilati will be somewhere else

^ well, I'm happy for Stefano at least

What? So all this, and it aint true? How can someone like Menkes then publish it? I really think she must have been sure its true, or got a bad tip, but it makes her look bad now!

^ She definitely got ahead of herself that's for sure. At the same time. I feel she shouldn't have announced anything even if it was from a reliable source. It makes her looks as if she had a big mouth.

ok good. if anything i feel bad for stefano. he already talked about how hard these rumors are to deal with. that combined with the pressure designers feel, combine with filling yves' and tom's massive shoes, combine with pierre berge is enough to make anyone go batty.
