Sass & Bide Pull Out Of New York Fashion Week

11:30AM Jess McGuire | The Daily Telegraph is reporting today that designers Sass & Bide have pulled out of next month’s New York Fashion Week because Sarah-Jane Clarke just gave birth. Their families come first for the girls at sass & bide with the arrival of baby No.3 for Sarah-Jane Clarke causing the girls to withdraw from the New York Fashion Week next month. Clarke gave birth to her and husband Daniel Baffsky’s third boy on New Year’s Eve, with her yesterday revealing the name of their latest bundle of joy – Ziggy. I can’t help but suspect there must be another reason for the label’s withdrawal. I mean, I’m no expert, but my general understanding is that unless you’re one of those unfortunate teenagers I grew up reading about in Dolly Magazine who has no idea they are pregnant and is absolutely gobsmacked when they pop out a baby in the toilets of a nightclub during their 18th birthday party, you have a fair bit of warning that a new born is going to be part of your life soon. Several months, in fact. Why would Sass & Bide wait until a few weeks before New York Fashion Week to pull out when they obviously would have known about Ziggy’s impending arrival for months beforehand? Enquiring minds, etc!

Not so our Delta Goodrem, who seems to have struck (theoretical) gold on her second attempt to break through into the US, and continues to provide a whole bunch of rather dull copy about how well things are going for her – the latest, this piece about Delta “dazzling at New York Fashion Week”. No need to rub it in, Delts! Organisers had sought Goodrem’s permission to play her hit song, In This Life, as models showed off the latest offerings from some of the world’s top designers. But when they realised the singer could pass as a catwalk model herself, they invited her to strut her stuff. More »
