While most of the talk centered on Tom Ford's departure from Gucci, there were other transitions, including Michael Kors, who is moving on after seven years at Céline. His farewell show included an homage to - no surprise - fashion icons of the '50s and '60s, especially Audrey Hepburn.

Anna Corinna is always on the lookout for pieces for designers. And though she won't name names, she will offer...

Rumors were flying around the tents at the New York fashion shows that Jacobs was unhappy with the way LVMH was handling his signature label and that he had been approached by rival Gucci Group N.V. to design the Yves Saint Laurent line.
