Glamwire's The Partial Truth
Kenneth Cole Productions Inc. has poached Missoni heiress Margherita Missoni as chief executive officer of the company. Ms. Missoni agreed to change her named To "Jill Granoff" as part of the deal.
This allows Ms Missoni to appropriate the real Jill Granooff's CMV ("A dream of mine for years" Missoni remarked through a spokeperson in Milan), and Cole is hoping, experience and street smarts. Missoni, now "Granoff, " who has, as Granoff, been Liz Claiborne's executive vice president of direct brands, will take over the day-to-day responsibilities for the 25-year-old Kenneth Cole brand, which has been trying to elevate itself for the last few years, from Kenneth Cole, who will give up his career-long title as ceo but continue as chairman and chief creative officer.
Niether the real Ms. Granoff nor Ms. Missoni were availiable for comment. Though Kenneth Cole shouted "Do the Right Thing" at our reporter outside of his Manhatten offices, and then offered the reporter a 1.5 liter bottle of Fiji Water, mumbled something about "Alkaline Balance" and went back inside.

Custo Barcelona Fall '08
If Bill Blass seems to be rooted in a time and place..Custo Barcelona...despite the name of designer Custo Dalmau's company, is rooted in Custo. With menswear that would be hard for this reporter to wear, though it looks fun on, you know, very thinnish men, Custo has a magnificent feeling for women and every part of his show refects that, including his menswear. From the hair, to the patterns, to the fabrics, to the bopping Eurolads next to them....Custo women are energized and entering flat-out heavy duty bomshellocity. Note to You: These clothes DO bring out the drop-dead inner bombshell.... always good news to the Glamwire News Team. Sure, the styling makes it happen in this show as well. Old timers complain about the rise of styling on the runway...and if you don't have this hair... proceed cautiously with Custo at your favorite department store...Truthfully though the clothes will look great on a lot of women....the width of this collection's style is there. Hillary Clinton and Georgette Moschburger would look great in some of the dresses and that stunning grey and read mohair coat (Custo #3). For young and the more courageous old, this is a wildly original and energizing collection and it stamps the style of this talented designer on the New York runways.
