This top fashion PR firm is reportedly looking for a buyer. That would explain why several top executives recently left the company. While it’s common for fashion publicists to jump from job to job, it’s unusual that several very senior people at this company would all leave in the same year.
It’s also surprising that this company is looking to sell after bringing on two additional vice presidents this year. The question is: who will be the buyer? There’s at least one major fashion PR firm that wouldn’t mind acquiring this company and its roster of fashion and beauty brands.

Off-White is going downhill. The brand’s sales have been steadily declining, and creative director Ib Kamara was recently ousted. Now, there’s a battle over whether to let the brand continue or lay it to rest. The company is owned by Bluestar Alliance, which has a 60% stake, and, which has a 40% stake.

The creative director of this major luxury house is reportedly on his way out after his couture collections have struggled to sell. The parent company of this luxury brand was hoping this designer could restore some of the old-school glamour of the brand, but sadly, the sales figures weren’t looking great. Customers had grown used to the previous designer’s much more youthful aesthetic and simply weren’t buying what this new creative director was selling.

With Steven Kolb out as CFDA president following a physical altercation in which he restrained a PETA protester, the CFDA is now looking for a new head honcho. Now that Kolb is out, his closet skeletons are coming to light.
Former female employees have detailed the verbal abuse they suffered while working at the CFDA under Kolb. According to a 2019 survey, the majority of female employees said that Kolb had addressed them unprofessionally. A prominent fashion editor also discussed one of his past interactions with Kolb, in which he declared that the CFDA Awards were only for rich people and celebrities and that he didn’t want anyone of another ilk there. Sounds like it was beyond time for Kolb to go.
