PARIS–Wednesday night, in Paris’ majestic Palais de Chaillot, France’s most famous call girl, Zahia Dehar, presented her debut couture lingerie collection, bringing a sultry close to the city’s fashion week. Guests were welcome by real-life size molds of her naked body, as well as mini white chocolate Zahias, and prints of her look book shot by Karl Lagerfeld–all in a velvet, bubblegum-tinted boudoir.
The 19 year old ‘designer’ hit headlines a couple of years ago for her popularity amongst French football players: At age 17, she was reportedly bought for a night by a team member to be Franck Ribéry’s birthday present.

This has been a big week for collaboration and diffusion line reveals–Karl for Karl Lagerfeld just launched, Jason Wu for Target was feted last night, and we got a sneak peek at Doo.Ri for Macy’s this week, too. But don’t forget about H&M’s next big collaboration (and arguably the one we’re most excited about) with Marni. The collection launches March 8 and the Fashion Spot dug up this campaign image.
We have no confirmation on this, but TFS commenters theorize that it looks like Brit actress (and face of Chloé’s fragrance), Imogen Poots. Read more »
PARIS–Jean-Paul Gaultier’s couture shows are always incredibly fun. Not only is the production grandiose, but the crème de la crème of Paris is always there, too–Catherine Deneuve, Jean-Paul Goude, you name it.
This time, the designer, who has always celebrated pop culture, decided to pay homage to the late Amy Winehouse, whose bold personality and rock and roll Barbie figure became an emblem of London.
