Versace is officially in the market for a new CEO. Giancarlo Di Risio has stepped down from the position, reports WWD.

Di Risio joined the company in 2004, but WWD has been covering the possibility of a shakeup of the executive team since mid-May.

In fact, an earlier WWD article stated that there were strategic differences between the family-owned company. and its CEO. Guess they were right.

Italian fashion houses have seen a recent reshuffling of the executive position. Some even speculate that Di Risio could be a possible candidate for the CEO position at Roberto Cavalli.

We have no idea why anyone would pay $91,000 just to see Nicolas Sarkozy's supermodel wife posing sans clothing, but that's what some Chinese guy paid to own a photo of her in the buff. Oh yeah, it's art. Sure dude. [Guardian]

Argh! What the hell is that mustache doing invading William H. Macy's face? [She Knows Best]

Barney's New York launches Versace menswear

Versace launched their updated "revitalized" menswears collection exclusively at Barney's this past week. Donatella hosted the big night. Aside from playing in the Versace display window made of tinfoil, she also spent time mingling with all the random celebrities who showed up. I'm pretty sure the guest list was made up of basically any A-lister in New York at the time, regardless of (lack of) connections with the fashion world.

Woody Allen was there. He says he loves Versace sweaters. And in the "How I wish I could have been a fly on the wall" conversation of the night, sources say that he had a little chat with Gossip Girls hottie Leighton Meester (seriously, who names their child Leighton?!?). Leighton told Woodie, "Donatella is, like, kind of the sh*t." Why would you say that to Woodie Allen of all people?

Now let's get back to the topic at hand -- fashion. The creative director of Barney's, Simon Doonan said, "Every guy wants a moiré suit. He just may not have realized it yet."

Guys, you heard the man. You want a moiré suit. Go out and buy one now. Simon's sending you subliminal message.

Browse through the gallery to see celebs and fashion greats at the event. Seriously, you don't want to miss Stephon Marbury checking out Patti LaBelle's nearly 64 year old rack, do you?
