The new Rogan for Target Go International line from Rogan Gregory will be debuting Friday for three days at Barneys New York before its May 18 launch at Target stores.
For the occasion, Simon Doonan has dedicated his latest Barneys Babble column to an interview with the designer.
Keep reading for highlights.
Simon Doonan’s Barney’s Babble is getting better and better. And he knows how to grab readers with a headline: “Manolo Blahnik: Shocking Secrets Revealed.” Well, the secrets may not be totally shocking, but they’re definitely entertaining. Among them is a story of how Manolo got his name from a canary with a deformed beak, a legend that Manolo takes every shoe he designs to the family priest for blessing – and that when he skipped this ritual all the heels fell off the unblessed shoe, and a beauty secret involving figs. We might have to take some of Simon’s chatter with a grain of salt, but you’ll definitely feel like you know Manolo better after reading the column.
In his latest edition of Barneys Babble, Simon Doonan teases us with the knowledge of whether Kate Moss has a corner office or lowly cubicle at the Topshop head office in London. He never gives us the dirt on that question, but says Kate, shown here at the Kate Moss for Topshop Barneys New York launch, is very popular with Topshop employees (gee, go figure) and that she tries on every design for her line herself. Apparently she comes in weekly for meetings and goes on coffee runs for workers, which is nice since they’re probably chained to their desks working on her stuff while she can flit in and out as she pleases.
