Is LVMH up to something with fashion darling Gareth Pugh? Delphin Arnault, daughter of LVMH chief Bernard Arnault, sat front row at Pugh's critically acclaimed show leading many to speculate that the label conglomerate could be looking to snatch him up while he's hot, or -- even juicier -- make him Kris Van Assche's replacement at Dior Homme.

As if we didn't already know, Kanye West fancies himself a pretty important person. All the more-so after the success of his LV sneaker launch in Paris. Here's a crazy video where he claims as much. [Kanye's blog]

After appearing in Prada's spring ad campaign, hottie brothers Louis and Claude Simonon walked their first show in Galliano. They're the sons of the The Clash bassist Paul Simonon, and their mother, Trish, is good friends with Galliano. Neoptism at its finest. [WWD]

Trend for Fall in Paris? Skirts for men. Following suit after Marc Jacobs, everyone from Comme des Garcon to Yohji Yamamoto showed them. The jury is still out on this one. [The Moment]

Despite the recessions, Brioni is still making a $43,000 suit. That, along with the $990 Tom Ford Jeans, are certainly on our shopping list. [WSJ]

And while both the suit and jeans may seem exorbitant, it turns out the luxury markets aren't doing so bad. Someone's always got money, right? [Luxist]
