Brave New World 

Welcome to the new age of the modeling industry. Elite, one of the biggest names in fashion since being founded by John Casablancas and Alain Kittler in 1972, has added a new company to their repertoire: The Society Management. Focusing on social media and branding with an eye toward longevity, Society is looking to groom girls with supermodel staying power — something we haven’t really seen since the days of Campbell, Evangelista, and Turlington, with the more recent exception of Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen, of course. Just take one look at their homepage, which is a swarming mass of model GIFs, and you’ll see what we’re talking about.

Tom Ford After two years of intimate and incredibly exclusive presentations for his eponymous line, Tom Ford is finally staging his first “real” runway show, which will take place during London Fashion Week. Ford cites the expansion of his brand as cause for the shift, with his gorgeous wares now being sold in 100 stores worldwide. He will be a welcome addition to a schedule that can sometimes seem lacking in comparison with the massive brands showcasing in New York, Paris, and Milan. Ford joins the ranks of Matthew Williamson, Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Kane, and Burberry Prorsum. February can’t come soon enough. (Photo courtesy of David Bailey via PleasurePhoto.

Missoni News As many of you must have already heard, Vittorio Missoni, chief executive of the family’s eponymous fashion house, was in a small plane that disappeared last Friday, along with his partner and four others. According to The Hollywood Reporter, here is what we know: The couple were vacationing in Los Roques, Venezuela’s coastal resort island, for the holidays with two of their Italian friends,Elda Scalvenzi and Guido Foresti. The four boarded the small BN-2 Islander aircraft, which was staffed by two Venezuelan pilots, and headed for Maiquetia, only 90 miles away near Venezuela’s capital, Caracas. But shortly after takeoff, the plane went off radar. The six missing persons or the aircraft have not yet been located. As of right now, the search for the plane has intensified, with more than 385 people involved in discovering its whereabouts. Our thoughts are with the Missoni family during this very difficult time.
