Ab Fab no more: Christian LaCroix goes bust….
Christian Lacroix, the French fashion house famous for its expensive haute couture, has declared insolvency after falling foul of the global recession.
The collapse of Lacroix, which is owned by the Falic Group, a duty free retailer, and employs 125 people, has been attributed to the effects of the global downturn and consumers’ reluctance to spend money on luxury goods.
The fashion house, which was a favourite of characters in the British television comedy Absolutely Fabulous because of its extravagant and expensive designs, said that it had “filed a voluntary petition with the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris to put itself under the protection of the courts” and that it intended to maintain its business operations throughout proceedings.
…With the onset of the recession, major retailers had begun to stop buying new Lacroix merchandise and in April, Neiman Marcus Group and Saks reduced their orders for Lacroix products.
The high-fashion brand was launched by Christian Lacroix 22 years ago and has become well-known for its colourful gypsy-themed clothes.

YARM: Alien being remade now?! Nooooooo!!!
Oh surely not!!! Apparently Ridley Scott has succumbed to that same disease that struck George Lucas, the one in which they frak with their early classics and pixx off fans..
Bloody-Disgusting, citing an anonymous source, reports the rumor that director Ridley Scott’s classic 1979 sci-fi horror movie Alien is being remade at 20th Century Fox.
The source, the same one that told the site correctly that Robert Rodriguez would reboot the Predator series, adds that Scott, his brother Tony and Michael Costigan will produce through their Scott Free Productions company, and that commercial/video director Carl Rinsch will direct the remake…
Why, why, why do they keep frakking with our films? Is there not a single spark of originality in these people or what? WTH are we paying them for? FIND SOMETHING NEW LEAVE OUR CLASSICS ALOOOOONE!!
/sigh
Your Geek News: Terminator Salvation review (spoilers)
Vodpod videos no longer available.
From YourGeekNews:
We both loved parts and hated parts; we both thought parts were bad ass and other parts had no balls at all… only problem is, we’re not totally in agreement on which was which.
This isn’t exaclty a film series that prides itself on continuity, but still, as Terminator fans, but after 25 years of Terminators, we have a certain minimum expectation. What did you think? Give us your thoughts on McG’s attempt to bring the Terminator franchise a new direction!~Matt + Nat
