Mayor Bloomberg has announced that May 28 has been declared the official Burberry Day for New York City! The day is in honor of Burberry's continued investment and support of businesses in the city and the country. On the same day, Burberry had the official lighting of the logo on their new US headquarters. The building, creative director Christopher Bailey says, is going to be part of the world-famous skyline and the logo will be visible by all of the city's boroughs. On Burberry Day 20% of all purchases made in the two New York stores on 57th street and in SoHo will be donated to The Burberry Foundation, which goes towards helping young people realize their dreams and achieve them through creativity. Burberry is also adding two more stores to the city, one on each side of their headquarters at 444 Madison Avenue, and is planned to open by the end of October this year.
The Chanel Cruise 2010 collection was just presented in Venice and already the ad campaign is out! The ads were shot by Karl Lagerfeld, featuring models Baptiste Giabiconi and Karen Elson. Taking place in a shadowed hotel room with subtle red curtains and bed spead, Karl was, without a doubt, attempting to portray something sinister with these photographs. He commented on the shoot saying, "Venie has a genuine dark and mysterious side to it that fascinated me. I really like the Italian spirit and Venetian lifestyle."
Italian police are recommending that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana be brought up on tax evasion and abuse of rights with fines of no less than $1.12 billion. The charges are claimed to be related to the 2004 selling of Dolce & Gabbana and D&G brands to the designers' holding company, Gado Srl. The designer duo said in a personal statement that these accusations are all due to misguided police calculations that value the brands at $1.37 billion in 2004, to which the designers quip "we wish!" They also said in their statement, "It's a paradox! Since when does one have to pay taxes on money one never actually collected? It's an absurd demand based on a completely abstract calculation. This higher taxable sum is a virtual figure we have never received, the result of a theoretical accounting exercise."
