Jil Sander To Launch Innerwear and Beachwear Collections


According to WWD, Jil Sander is set to launch two new collections: an innerwear and beachwear license with Italian manufacturer Albisetti SpA. Albisetti SpA manufacturers the likes of Roberto Cavalli, John Galliano, Burberry, Chloé, Vivienne Westwood, Ralph Lauren, Guess, Pucci and Balenciaga. “The first innerwear collection will bow in September 2009, while the first beachwear line will be launched in February 2010.” Every designer is doing it, so why not…

Alber Does Denim

Alber Elbaz, the genius behind the resurgence of Lanvin, has now teamed with Acne denim to create a collection for the funky, Swedish line. According to Fashion Wear Daily, the line will be sold at Barneys and Bergdorf stores beginning this November. The designer who is known for his own eclectic personal style commmented on his partnership for the line.

"I was very pleased when I started working with Acne. They're just young, energetic sexy Swedes and our partnership really wasn't about signing hardcore contracts, it was really just about creating about something that was mutually fun and creative."
