We nearly fell out of our seats when French fashion house Chloé announced suddenly that creative director Hannah McGibbon is leaving the brand, and that Clare Waight Keller will be taking her place. Despite months of speculation (and subsequent denial by McGibbon), we still didn't expect her to leave so soon, considering the success her work as head designer since 2008 has brought the house. But according to Cathy Horyn's chat with Chloé chief executive Geoffroy de La Bourdonnaye, the brand's looking for a new kind of success, and Waight Keller is expected to take them there.

It's damn near impossible to distinguish paid and editorial content in these media-saturated, techno-crazed days. But for Parisian fashion mag Self Service, the difference hardly seems to matter. The magazine has just released an iPad app that comes equipped with revolutionary, interactive new ads. At first glance, the app seems to be a straightforward interpretation of the magazine: same spare typographic design with the emphasis on the photos. Play around with the digital rag, however (a single tap on individual editorial pages hides the copy), and it becomes clear that something entirely different is going on.

I remember specifically where I was when I first saw the Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2010 campaign featuring Raquel Zimmermann. Sprawled across a huge billboard above the McQueen boutique in LA, the vivid colors and striking details were so enchanting that I immediately pulled over, got out of my car, and walked up as close as I could to get a better look. It was just so beautiful and still gives me chills to this day, especially now that the designer is no longer with us. But McQueen's art will live on forever, and it's campaigns like these that capture the pinnacle of fashion just right, reminding us why we love this industry so damn much. And while not all 2010 fashion campaigns had as much impact, there were definitely a handful that hit it out of the park. Fashion Gone Rogue has done an ace job of rounding up the best of the best spring/summer and fall/winter campaign ads, which you can see here and here. Check out our absolute favorites after the jump.

We all know MAC was responsible for the Christie Brinkley-inspired beauties at Chloe's Fall 2010 show, but it was Redken that can claim responsibility for their shiny, voluminous 70's blow outs. Guido Palau, considered one of the world's most inventive, conceptual hair stylists, went for a throwback to the rich, beautiful women of the 70's—the kind "you'd be envious of." Getting the perfect blowout is no small feat, but getting a blowout to last is comparable to getting a cat to fetch. Guido's method is perfected with the right product: Redken's Velvet Gelatine 07 Cushioning Blow-Dry Gel.

The Spot: Studio 54 defined an era of all out excess. It was a celebration of having it all during the 70s and 80s -- a discothèque that became a home for some of the most glamorous people of the decade, en masse. The gilded look of regulars like Bianca Jagger, Liza Minnelli, Jerry Hall, Diana Vreeland, Halston and Brooke Shields defined the aesthetic -- white horses and all -- have inspired makeup trends for recycled years to come. Despite nostalgia, 54 will never be reincarnated, but the look of it does pop up in some Manhattan scenes. Put a Face on For: Boom Boom Room (Meatpacking District) - The Standard takes the hotel bar to a whole new level with lush design, dark wood and gilded chairs to cushion the models, artists and anyone who happens to be in the scene -- or at least looks the part.

It isn’t very often that we see French films re-made for the stateside market, and when we do chances are they’re broad comedies à la The Birdcage, Three Men and a Baby, Nine Months, et al. So I was a little intrigued when I heard that Anne Fontaine’s 2003 erotic drama Nathalie… was getting the English language treatment. It’s echt French, concerning a bizarre love triangle in which a frigid wife (Fanny Ardent) pays a prostitute (Emmanuelle Béart) to seduce her husband (Gérard Depardieu) so that she may in turn absorb all the gooey details. The new incarnation, renamed Chloe, stars Julianne Moore, Amanda Seyfried, and Liam Neeson in these respective roles, and it looks to be no less sexy than its predecessor. How will the rest translate? Well, it’s worth noting that the director is Canadian art-house mainstay Atom Egoyan, who’s not exactly a thoughtless shill. I used to admire Egoyan a great deal more around the era of Calendar and The Sweet Hereafter, but have since cooled owing to pics like last year’s magnificently dull and overwrought Adoration. It’ll be interesting to see if Chloe proves an artistic comeback, though it’ll be beside the point box office-wise, as the film will likely succeed or fail based on audiences desire to see Seyfried vamp it up. The French trailer (after the jump) suggests no shortage of prurient business.

Every year in Los Angeles, the night before Thanksgiving seems to come as a huge surprise -- everyone remembers that it’s Wednesday, and tomorrow they're blessedly free from going back to work. Bars and clubs across the city remember it too and treat this night like a hot Saturday in high season. It all comes together to make Thanksgiving Eve one of the most promising nights of the year to go out. Here’s our list of November 26th blowouts for your partying pleasure. 1. The Hideout - Ah, glorious Los Angeles. Party on the beach in late November! Though usually Wednesdays at the Hideout are reserved for quiet chilling (and, earlier in the evening, a spot of speed-dating), this night will play host to resident DJs and, as past years indicate, an unusually packed dance floor. Not to worry; there’s breathing room on the beachside patio.
