Cary Vaughan and Jenna Wilson, the faces behind the Ace & Jig name, seem to be doing things a little bit differently—and we like that. Their Ace & Jig line is still in its early years, but Vaughan and Wilson are no freshmen in the fashion world; their premier line, LaROK, exploded onto the scene in the late noughties with super-trendy looks most commonly sported by the MTV crowd. (Read: kind of cute, but mostly tacky.) Starting LaROK, however, gave them the cred to move forward, which they’ve done with Ace & Jig—in many ways the antithesis to the fast-paced game over-styling and uber-trends.

Gen Art, an organization that supported and showcased up-and-coming fashion, art and music talent–including Zac Posen and Vena Cava–has closed its doors. A statement on their website points to the sudden end of a corporate partnership, which Gen Art had been counting on for revenue. [Gen Art]

Jean Paul Gaultier is designing a line for the haute, modern furniture company Roche Bobois, whose Missoni-covered modular sofas we have long coveted. The line hasn’t been released yet, but we hope it won’t look like the creepy bedspread above, which Gaultier designed for a show in Paris.  [WWD, sub req]
