It was announced days ago that OTB-owned brand Jil Sander has named Simone Bellotti as its new creative director. He arrives from Bally where the creative injected a well-received hit of adrenalin in his short tenure with the brand.

Hotel Stories: The Ritz Paris Founders César and Marie-Louise Ritz

We have Louis Vuitton arriving in Paris as a young man with little money in 1837 and César Ritz arriving 30 years later. The Ritz Paris opened in 1898, the year after Guccio Gucci arrived in London in 1897, finding work as a bellhop at the Savoy Hotel.
