>> Jil Sander's Contract with Uniqlo Runs Three More Years —It was reported in April that Jil Sander, whose first collection dropped for Uniqlo last October, would be designing for the chain indefinitely. Now, it comes out that Sander's contractual obligations are shorter than forever — in April, she signed up for three more years with Uniqlo, bringing her to age 70. Sander currently takes trips to Tokyo almost every month, but hopes that she can develop her former showroom and in-town office in Hamburg to cut down on travel. Her upcoming Fall collection for the brand will go on sale in September and includes "a shapely ginger coat with pockets curving over the hips; or a stylish cornflower blue parka teamed with a blue coat — both set to retail at under €120, or $150," Suzy Menkes reports.

First Look: Chloe Sevigny Debuts Third Collection for Opening Ceremony

>> This Winter brings Chloe Sevigny's third collection to Opening Ceremony. The concept? Five dresses — a baby doll, a puff-sleeved minidress, an empire-waisted shift, a Peter Pan-collared frock, and a boxy dress — in five different prints — leopard, polka dot, paisley, houndstooth, and floral.

"I was just thinking about my closet and how I buy the same thing over and over again. I will buy one dress and want to have it made with different fabrics, so I thought why not try different silhouettes with different patterns, so people can choose a silhouette and have it in a variety of prints," Sevigny explained, adding: “These are prints that I always come back to.”

There are also leather shorts, jeans, T-shirts done with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, square-toed boots reissued by NaNa Shoes ("I wore those combat boots growing up," Sevigny said), sunglasses by Barton Perreira, and tights printed by Fogal to match the dresses.

More images of the collection can be seen here.

In her third season working with Opening Ceremony, Chloë Sevigny's design concept was focused on five dresses with five different prints. “These are prints that I always come back to,” said Sevigny. “It’s kind of a selfish collection, really.” The five looks—from Empire-waist shifts to baby doll dresses—are done in leopard, polka dot, paisley, houndstooth, or floral prints. In a series of mini collaborations within the Opening Ceremony collection, Sevigny also created t-shirts with the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, boots with NaNa Shoes, sunglasses by Barton Perriera, and printed tights with Fogal.

Sally Singer Speaks on Moving to T

>> Sally Singer, who was reportedly a contender for the T editor position back before Stefano Tonchi was chosen to launch the magazine in 2003, took the position yesterday, replacing Tonchi and moving on from Vogue, where she had been since 1999.The announcement came a month after the New York Times originally expected to name a replacement — a delay which could be attributed to the fact that according to insiders, Singer vacillated between moving to T and staying at Vogue; for a while there, T's fashion director Anne Christensen was said to have thought in the last few that she had bagged the position.
