Project Runway’s venerable Tim Gunn has announced in yesterday morning’s Page Six that he will be resigning from The New School’s Parsons School of Design to become Liz Claiborne’s new chief creative officer. Congratulations Tim Gunn! You can now carry on that legacy of yours to Claiborne.

But this new turn of events brings up the burning question: What’s going to happen to Project Runway? There have been rumors that Gunn has delayed signing on to the next season of Project Runway, and this seems to be the reason why. PR just won’t be the same without good old Tim.

I don’t know what you’re planning Mr. Gunn. But you better make it work.

TO: Students, Faculty, and Administration: Department of Fashion Design

FROM: Tim Gunn, Chair

DATE: February 1, 2007

SUBJECT: Leadership Transition
This memorandum is very difficult for me to write, because my heart and
soul reside at Parsons and the University and, more specifically, with
all of you in the Department of Fashion Design. The achievements that
we have realized together since the time of my arrival in the Department
in September 2000 are phenomenal and we should all feel very proud. I
have had every reason to assume that we would be together for a very
long time. However, an opportunity has presented itself that I would be
foolish to turn down. I have been offered the position of Chief
Creative Officer of Liz Claiborne, Inc., and I have accepted that
position. In this new role, I will work with the 350 designers who
create product for each of the company’s 40+ brands. I will serve as
a mentor, advisor, teacher, and advocate. It’s very exciting for me
and it is also a welcome new challenge.

I want to emphasize that my work with you has been and continues to be
exciting and challenging. You students never cease to amaze me:
you’re intelligent, exceedingly talented, and you’re fearless,
qualities that ensure a metaphorical creative combustion! You faculty
are our academic leaders: you nurture, inspire, and give
unconditionally and selflessly to our community. Our work together is
the source of my greatest professional pride.

I want to assure all of you that my departure will in no way harm the
Department. Yes, there will be a period of transition in the
administration, but every measure will be put in place to ensure that
the highest quality education continues to be delivered. Towards this
mandate, I am working closely with the Office of the Dean and the
Department’s administration and full-time faculty. I have every
confidence that there will be no disruptions to your academic
environment.

I also want to assure you that I’m not abandoning you! I continue my
commitment to the students in my class, I plan to fully participate in
the senior year thesis review, and I also plan to host the Parsons
Benefit and Fashion Show. Discussions are underway about how I can
continue to be active with Parsons, the University, and the Department
of Fashion Design. Furthermore, in my new role at Liz Claiborne, Inc.,
I will be actively and enthusiastically recruiting Parsons graduates.

Next Tuesday, February 6 at noon, I will hold an open meeting to
respond to your questions and to any concerns that you may have. All of
you are invited to attend.

Grenier has been remodeling his Brooklyn apartment to make it more eco-friendly. Part of the renovation has been replacing the insulation with recycled denim. Who knew jeans could be used as insulation?

Now if only we could get all the JAPs in Long Island to give up all their Seven/Diesel/[insert $100 designer jean company here] jeans, we could keep the whole world warm. Now isn’t that nice.

The wallet pictured above has a bird riding a tambourine in a polka dot sea. The inside features the same (but inverted) polka dots. For $40, these aren’t too shabby.

And if you don’t like the Postal Service (and we can’t see why not), there are many other artistically hip wallets to choose from. Check ‘em out!

Well, it looks like somebody did. This curiously colorful suit can be yours for only 395 pounds, coming complete with a blower airflow unit and a drinking tube.

For the modern billionaire baby, nothing short of this $17,000 diamond-encrusted pacifier will do. I mean, what will all the other spoiled little toddlers think if you show up to a play-date with a run-of-the-mill gold pacifier sans diamonds? Can you imagine what that might do to a child’s burgeoning sense of self-worth?

Just kidding. This was just too ridiculous not to post.

Uh… yeah. Marc Ecko tagged Air Force One; and taped it. I’m guessing the video is fake because, well, it’s highly doubtful that a fashion mogul would be able to get past the heavy security. Only Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris are capable of such a feat. But yeah, anyway, check out the video.
