Just because fashion designers don't play competitive sports doesn't mean they can't take part in the 2008 Olympics. Au contraire, mon frère. Hong Kong-based retailer Lane Crawford has enlisted the help of 12 of the world's most famous names — Ricardo Tisci, Burberry (left), Phillip Lim, and Stella McCartney, to name a few — for "The Collective: Synergy in Fashion."

With the unfortunate passing of one of fashion's greatest inspirations, Yves Saint Laurent, I thought it would be fitting to take you through the fashion metamorphosis of Yves himself, his revolutionary brand, and its many successors. What many people don't know is that YSL officially started in the fashion business when Christian Dior died in October of 1957. At the age of 21, Yves was thrust into the spotlight, and more importantly, into the role of head designer of the house of Dior.

Sometimes the simplest ideas turn out to be the most brilliant. As Stefano Pilati explained the inspiration for his Spring collection: "I just started with three thoughts: blazers, sweatshirts, and a vaguely preppy idea, and then it went into thinking about goddesses, stars."Well, it worked — to say his jersey sweatshirt inspired bustier dress was a hit of the season would be an understatement. What's even more astounding is the variety of women that have fallen in love with it.

Demi Moore picked up on the brushstroke trend back in December, strutting her stuff in this Yves Saint Laurent cruise collection dress. Even though the reception to Demi in the Stefano Pilati designed dress was more aghast than impressed, Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director Roopal Patel decided to give it another go to fete Missoni's Fall collection at the store's New York location last night. I'm torn because I don't love either of the shoe choices.

Fall ad campaign shoots are jumping into full swing, and the latest intelligence comes from Paris, by way of Yves Saint Laurent.

From the looks of Stefano Pilati's collections for Yves Saint Laurent, one would never assume that the brand remains in the red as far as revenue goes. It has been that way since Gucci Group took control in 1999. YSL reported revenue of about $261 million in 2006, but it also had losses of $66 million that same year.
