In the latest issue of Style.com’s magazine, Christopher Kane and his sister Tammy (who’s also the brand’s creative director) return to their old high school in Motherwell, Scotland, for a Fall 2013 photoshoot shot by Alasdair McLellan. On location, the pair open up about signing with Kering, formerly known as PPR. “We would have survived, but would we have survived as people without the investment?” said Tammy. “I don’t have a life!

The company sent out a cheeky press release to announce the appointment, which began with the following: “Hell yes! Diesel ignites yet another firestorm by appointing Nicola Formichetti to be the new commander-in-chief of the brave army tha twill spread Diesel’s marching orders far and wide.” Sounds like a natural fit for the quirky and creative Formichetti, non? After all, he ignited his own career by creating the looks for pop phenom Lady Gaga that garnered her own army of “little monsters”.
