RICHARD KIRSHENBAUM, the self-proclaimed ''Madboy'' of advertising, is, characteristically, taking a nontraditional tack as he pursues the next act in his agency career. Mr. Kirshenbaum joined Jonathan Bond in 1987 to start the irreverent creative agency Kirshenbaum & Bond, now known as Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners and owned by MDC Partners. Mr. Kirshenbaum, who titled his recent memoir ''Madboy,'' has become the chief executive of a boutique agency called NSG/SWAT, part of a company he owns, the Nue Studio Group. The agency is meant to offer marketers an alternative to agencies like Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal, and to the many other shops that are larger or smaller. ''Clearly, it's time for a new model,'' Mr. Kirshenbaum said in an interview last week at the NSG/SWAT office on Spring Street in downtown Manhattan. ''I knew I didn't want to do another traditional advertising agency.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

BE honest: would you rather look at Toby the Lab or the funeral of Kim Jong-il? I thought so. This is my last post for 2011, an eventful year in fashion, a most peculiar year that saw a feverish spread of luxury brands in places like China and Brazil, chasing new wealth, even as insiders saw the Galliano scandal as a sobering episode for an industry that tends to push its talent hard. I wonder, though, if the insider's influence hasn't waned. To be sure, people admire the genuinely talented, and we're attracted to star personalities both on the runway and in the front row. It's also true that fashion, like everything else, runs in cycles - one moment it's guilty of gluttony, the next it regrets the whole thing. But outsiders seldom feel these mood swings; they just know what they want, and the business side of fashion houses (along with the more astute creative directors, like Christopher Bailey of Burberry) has seen to it that they get what they want.
