BREAKING: Tom Ford has been elected chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America.⁣ ⁣ WWD broke the news last week that Ford was in line to succeed Diane von Furstenberg, who has held the job for the past 13 years. Under von Furstenberg, along with Steven Kolb, chief executive officer of the CFDA, the organization has ushered in a period of unprecedented growth for American fashion, followed by the current period of volatility triggered by seismic changes within and outside of fashion.⁣ ⁣ Von Furstenberg had succeeded Stan Herman in 2006, who served in the role for 16 years.⁣ ⁣ Ford is the 11th person to hold the position (which had previously been titled president until it was upgraded to chairman for Furstenberg in 2015). The roster of presidents has included Herman, Sydney Wragge, Norman Norell, Oscar de la Renta, Herbert Kasper, Bill Blass, Mary McFadden, Perry Ellis and Carolyne Roehm.

Victoria's Secret swimwear is back. 👙 The brand eliminated its swimwear line in spring 2016 in an effort to focus on its core lingerie business. But shifting consumer tastes and a movement toward brands that promote inclusivity, such as American Eagle Outfitters’ Aerie, as well as start-ups like Adore Me and ThirdLove, have caused Victoria’s Secret to lose market share. The move back into swimwear is an attempt to win back some of the lost market share in what had been a $525 million business for the retailer. Victoria’s Secret also said it was now selling swim accessories on its website, such as sunglasses. Report: Kellie Ell . . . . #wwdfashion #victoriassecret

Virgil Abloh has commented on the Michael Jackson-inspired looks from his fall-winter 2019 for Louis Vuitton. “I am aware that in light of this documentary the show has caused emotional reactions. I strictly condemn any form of child abuse, violence or infringement against any human rights,” Virgil Abloh, men’s artistic director at Vuitton, said in a statement released exclusively to WWD. . . . . . . #wwdfashion #LouisVuitton #VirgilAbloh #MichaelJackson

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Ford tapped as new chairman of the CFDA, sources say. Tom Ford — chairman of the CFDA? That’s the plan, according to sources, who say that Diane von Furstenberg is ready to step down from the post, with Ford poised to take over. Both the CFDA and Ford declined comment Wednesday. The move would come after von Furstenberg’s legendary 13-year tenure during which, working with CFDA chief executive officer Steven Kolb, she oversaw a period of unprecedented, heady growth for American fashion and the organization itself, followed by the current period of volatility triggered by seismic cultural changes within and outside of fashion. The CFDA board is due to meet Tuesday to vote on Tom Ford's nomination as chairman of the association. Link in bio.

Is Times Square cool now? Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Joan Smalls, Elsa Hosk, and more made the case at the Times Square Edition opening ‪Tuesday night‬. . Just ask nightlife mogul Ian Schrager. “Studio [54] was in this neighborhood, The Meatpacking [district] was an unseemly place. SoHo was unseemly. TriBeCa was a truck stop. That’s part of being in a great city — it continues to evolve and people go there if that alchemy happens,” Schrager said. . His team asked Diana Ross if she would perform for the Edition’s opening night (after having performed closing night at Studio 54 in 1980), and she said yes. The crowd screamed in delight when Ross came on stage, with Rodgers accompanying on guitar. They sang along to “I Will Survive” like it was 1978. 📸: @lexieblacklock Report: @maxinesleep . . . . . . . . #wwdeye #TimesSquareEdition #Studio54 #DianaRoss #KendallJenner #HaileyBieber
