Bouts of Upheaval

So first we had the whole Donatella debacle last week, now this? According to his PR firm, designer Alessandro dell'Acqua appears to be breaking away from his own brand; the Men's S/S 2010 and Women's Pre-Spring 2010 collections will be produced without the designer's approval. Apparently, he was not offered the opportunity to actually verify whether the final looks shared any resemblance or conformity to his original sketches.

"The brand which carries my name has always been consistent with my style but in this case, despite of their formal assurance, Cherry Grove, the company who produces and distributes the Alessandro Dell'Acqua women's and men's collections, decided to move forward without having me, the designer, check on the quality of the product," the designer stated in a formal press release.

The tenuous stitching of the fashion industry seems to be wearing thin. The next look to come down the runway might not be so pretty...
