Vanessa Paradis for Miu Miu

Ades — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:33:49 +0000

Check out Vanessa Paradis’ new Fall 2008 campaign for Miu Miu.

She looks hot as a futuristic superhero, but I personally think Ms. Paradis is better suited to boho-chic labels like Sonia Rykiel or the classic Chanel.

Not familiar with Vanessa Paradis? She’s the French singer/actress/model keeping Johnny Depp’s feet warm at night. The couple have been together for nearly a decade and have two children.

THE COPPOLAS FOR VUITTON

Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter Sofia are the latest to be featured in the Louis Vuitton core values campaign. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the ad features dad sitting with script in hand, in the middle of an engaging conversation with his daughter amongst the beautiful scenery of Buenos Aries, with a Louis Vuitton bag thrown nonchalantly into the mix.

An estimated 900 mourners attended the June 4 funeral for fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, including President Nicholas Sarkozy and first lady Carla Bruni (who modeled for the designer at one time), actress Catherine Deneuve, and designers Vivienne Westwood, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Valentino, and John Galliano.

The funeral was held at Saint-Roche church near the Louvre.

Sarah Jessica Parker dazzles Sex premiere

Apparently, SJP is a little irritated that she wasn’t told that the silver Nina Ricci creation had in fact been worn before, by none other than Lindsey Lohan in a Harper’s Bazaar shoot a few months back. At least Sarah Jessica can take comfort in knowing that she looked much more fabulous than LiLo.

Fashion legend dies in Paris

French fashion legend Yves Saint Laurent died late Sunday at his home in Paris. Battling illness throughout most of his life, the designer succumbed to a brain tumor at the age of 71.

Yves Saint Laurent’s 40-year career revolutionized the way women dressed, introducing menswear to women’s fashion putting women in pants and tuxedos.

Sporting a clutch is always in, but check out this funky fresh take on a classic from Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s the oversized Airliner Magazine Clutch, seen here in black, but also available in bright blue. The bag is backordered in most places like Neiman Marcus, Barney’s and Net-A-Porter.

Ugg Goes Haute Couture?

Not quite.

The footwear company has reportedly tapped LA based designer Rozae Nichols to design a 14-piece outerwear line.

The collection will feature a selection of jackets and sweaters, all with Ugg’s signature stitching. There have apparently also been talks for an Ugg 2009 handbag line.

Got Plaid?

Patterns are IN, IN, IN this season! Which is why you should try plaid.

This classic style gets a modern update all over the runway this year with new and interesting details.

This Elizabeth and James Bonfire shirt stands out as a mix between masculine and feminine (side note: it was designed by the Olsen twins).

Spring Trends on the Stars

Scarlett Johansson: Full-skirted Dresses

The glamorous actress looked to-die-for in the latest trend in dresses: the cocktail length full-skirt. The cut glams up any look while still keep it young and fresh.

The silk gown is Oscar de la Renta and the black pumps are Miu Miu. Paired with fishnet tights, Scarlett looks very modern vintage.

Coco before Chanel

Ades — Tue, 06 May 2008 20:03:55 +0000

I am so thrilled to announce that Coco avant Chanel is in production, starring French actress Audrey Tautou (of Amelie fame) set to play legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel.

Directed by Anne Fontaine, the film will cover the designer’s life pre-Chanel, from learning to sew in an orphanage as a child, to making costumes for herself as a cabaret singer.
