Blind Item #6

This former A list designer who is now just a funny name has been spending time turning tricks for cash. Not many takers for his talents though. He is too old and wants way more than he is worth. He says you are paying for the name. Huh.

Galliano got a gig with Oscar de la Renta earlier this year. He's far from broke.

I really hope I'm wrong, but I suspect Isaac Mizrahi. He has had a rough time of it, business-wise, but it looks like the recent sale of his brand will still keeps him around and semi-active in the business. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Mizrahi

My only other guess is Galliano, but he's supposedly working under Oscar de la Renta these days. Privately, he's got people rooting for him to really make amends and get back on top*. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Galliano

* Where his level of talent belongs, anyway. Not to be understood as an endorsement or glossing over of his terrible remarks. He definitely has to demonstrate that what he said wasn't really what he feels in his heart. Not cool, dude. Not. Cool.

Isaac Mizrahi is on QVC. Not a prestigious gig, but it can be very lucrative. Whereas...

Galliano's job with De la Renta ended already. If there's any truth to this crazy item, it's gotta be him!

What happened with Mizrahi and Target? They were hot for a while and then not so much.

Former fashion star Richie Rich busted for not paying Times Square hotel bill

The Heatherette founder — real name Richard Eichhorn — was arrested at the Westin on W. 43rd St. after failing to pay a $1,800 bill, police said.


(Do not click if you're afraid of snakes or bad makeup. That scary dude is wearing a huge snake around his shoulders, and blue eyeshadow.)

I'm leaning toward Stacy's Richie Rich guess. He's been struggling to recover for a while.

Oh, please, please, pretty please, be Kunty Karl!!!

Richie Rich was on the page 6 website today for ditching a bill at a NYC Hotel this morning. So he seems to be broke. Wouldn't really call him A list though.

I would love this to be douche bag Ed Hardy. Funny name meaning that his name and brand are the automatic butt of jokes.

G said...

Richie Rich is definitely a funny name.

This is ABSOLUTELY Richie Rich:

As previously mentioned he was arrested on 10 June 2013 at the Westin Hotel in Times Square for failure to pay $1,800 in room fees and “ordering services”.

More importantly, I found this nugget which leaves me no doubt that Enty is referring to Richie Rich:
Richie Rich denies homeless talk
NY Post Page Six 18 February 2013

Destitute? Living on a bench? Not true, says former Heatherette designer Richie Rich, who is mounting a fashion comeback, despite rumors the designer had fallen on hard times.

As Fashion Week kicked off last week, friends worried Rich was floundering after word circulated in fashion circles that he was homeless.

During Fashion Week, several sources told us Rich was “couch surfing” after being kicked out of an apartment near Washington Square Park and he was “living without heat or hot water.”


Richie Rich is turning tricks for sure (allegedly)..

Richie Rich or Christian Augudier - I'm not sure how to spell it - the asshole responsible for Ed Hardy

My thoughts exactly

Okay, well if there are different Enty's writing the blog, this one is definitely not a fashionista. Tom Ford, John Galliano, Karl Lagerfeld, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren A-List. Brands unto themselves. Richie Rich.......child, bye!
