Recently appointed creative director of Cheap Monday, Anne Sofie-Back hasn't ignored her own namesake collections. She presented the fall 2010 lineup for her diffusion line, Back, in Stockholm this week, showing everyday wearable pieces in black, white, and gray. The fabrics used for her slighly askew basics—an oversized wrap coat wiht bell sleeves, padded-knee trousers, cropped jackets, and cutout capes—were soft and slouchy, comfortable fashion.

For her mainline Anne Sofie-Back collection, which will debut during London Fashion Week, Back took inspiration from her Second Life avatar—an unsuccessful, lonely stripper. Dazed Digital has more on both collections.

>> Giancarlo Giammetti and Valentino Garavani are no strangers to disparaging Valentino's successors, and after current Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli presented their Spring 2010 couture collection last month, Giammetti turned to Facebook.

Valentino's longtime business partner posted on his Facebook page that he was “just speechless,” continuing, “not sad…just surprised.…We have always supported the new designers and we love them, but this time we have to distance ourselves from this ridiculous circus.”

Giammetti eventually deleted the comments after the reaction he received, but told WWD yesterday that both he and Garavani “are always supportive of the designers of Valentino, even if we don’t approve of their effort to be cool at all costs.” The house of Valentino declined comment.

>> Nathalie Rykiel Partnered with H&M Because They Were Copying Her —If you can't beat H&M, join them, is Nathalie Rykiel's attitude. Nathalie, currently in New York to launch the Sonia Rykiel for H&M knitwear collection, admitted when prompted that H&M, before their partnership, had used her designs. "Yes, of course! They copy me all the time! Finally I said, 'Look, if you want your girls to wear Sonia Rykiel from H&M, let's let them have the real thing!'"  The collection's launch is tonight at Bobo in the West Village, with Chanel Iman making her DJing debut on deck.  When WWD asked Chanel about her favorite workout song, she replied: "I don’t work out."

>> On Valentine's Day, Nathan Jenden will take his last runway bow as creative director of Diane von Furstenberg before shipping off to focus exclusively on his own collection, launched in 2006.

In his stead, von Furstenberg has hired Yvan Mispelaere, who was a member of Phoebe Philo's design team at Chloe and took a runway bow after her exit.  He then left Chloe to join Gucci under Frida Giannini in 2006.

Jenden has been with von Furstenberg since 2001; she invested in his eponymous line when it launched and will continue to do so after Jenden leaves her company. “I have an interest in his company and I have an interest in his future, and if he wants to show in New York, then I will help him as the president of the CFDA,” von Furstenberg explained.

Jenden admitted he might show in New York in the future; he has been showing in London to give him time between von Furstenberg's show and his own.  He also has plans to expand his collection into resort and accessories in the near future.

>> Former Prada Model Nick Snider Offers Police Oral Sex For Release After Arrest —After yesterday's Fashion Week-crashing scandal courtesy of two high school-aged hackers who added their names to the list for Alexander Wang's show (and who have been successful in the past at shows like Derek Lam, where one sat front row next to Suzy Menkes), here's another doozy for you.  21-year-old former Prada model Nick Snider was arrested in Arkansas Monday morning for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct; when deputies approached the intoxicated Snider, he stated, "I am a very famous model."  After his arrest, Snider offered the deputies and jailer oral sex in trade for his release.

>> Last April at a dinner celebrating Cartier's 100th Anniversary, Zac Posen took a seat next to Harper's Bazaar editor and the evening's hostess, Glenda Bailey. Posen, offended that Bazaar, which rarely featured his clothes, had asked him to appear in a spread next to Sesame Street Muppet The Count, confronted Bailey in front of her guests. “I didn’t want to model with the Count,” Mr. Posen told the New York Times this week. “She said that was the only way my clothes could be in the magazine as a non-advertiser. I think she was surprised I wouldn’t take the part, but I stood my ground and I still do.”  Last September, Glenda Bailey did not attend Posen's show, although a Bazaar spokeswoman said the magazine had always supported Posen.

Posen, in the meantime, has his work cut out for him »
