usher's fragrance launches in london tonite. the singer won't physically be there, but will be linked in to the event via video. i still don't get the names of of the frances (usher for him and usher for her), or understand why the bottles are so tacky..............speaking of fragrance...comme de garcon is launching a new one called "comme 8." it is currently available at london's burlington arcade until december 8th. it will enjoy a wider launch next year on march 17th.............katie grand has quit and mulberry now has a new creative director, emma hill. hill has designed for several major brands including gap and marc jacobs. according to fashionmonitor.com, we will see her handywork in the spring/summer 2009 collection. (was that a typo though? that's a very long time...)
