Tom Ford's latest beauty venture, Lips & Boys, consists of 50 miniature — or as Ford calls them, "clutch-sized" — lipsticks in his Estée Lauder-licensed beauty line. According to "WWD," each of the 50 shades — named for a man past or present in Ford's life — will also be available for sale separately, beginning Nov. 28 at 12:01 a.m. on tomford.com for one day. On Dec. 26, it will reappear in-store in 200 of the brand's 400 global doors, and in 100 doors in North America. Ford says he's determined to build his beauty brand into an economic powerhouse rivaling that of corporate siblings Clinique, MAC Cosmetics and Estée Lauder. "If I don't believe I have something to say, and if I don't believe that I can compete, I don't do it," Ford said emphatically during an exclusive interview with "WWD." "I've never understood people who wanted to do something and said, 'Oh, I'm going to do this, but I'm just going to be the second-best.' I believe that I have a point of view in beauty, and I believe we have enormous potential." How much potential? The ambitious designer explains further: "I'd like to take it to a $3 billion business, and I'm not kidding at all," Ford said. Read More »

Jeremy Scott is continuing to make his mark at Moschino as creative director. His over-the-top, pop-culture-infused, ready-to-wear collections have already caused quite the stir, with his McDonald's-inspired runway collection and most recently his dreamy Barbie-inspired collection.

According to "Fashionista," Scott has given us something new to talk about with the unveiling of his first fragrance for the Italian fashion house.

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, John Galliano, the creative director of Maison Martin Margiela, lost his unfair dismissal lawsuit against his two former employers: Christian Dior SA and John Galliano SA.

Back in 2013, Galliano thought he was winning the suit after a French court ruled in his favor, moving the trial to a labor court instead of a commercial court. But according to "WWD," at a hearing Tuesday, the French labor court ruled against Galliano, who was asking both parties for damages from $3 million to $16.3 million. Galliano now owes each winning party one symbolic euro — approximately $1.26 — each because of the ruling. "Fashionista" reports Galliano claimed that both employers were completely knowledgable of his debilitating addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol. Read More »
