After spending the afternoon greeting fans and posing for pictures at the Victoria’s Secret store at the Grove, Candice Swanepoel hosted a small, private dinner party on the garden terrace of the Chateau Marmont. Clad in a sequined black dress, Swanepoel looked every bit the old Hollywood glamour girl as she unveiled the latest fragrance and body care collection, Fantasies, at the historic L.A. hotel.

Giles Deacon Is Launching a Line of Nail Polish

More and more designers are getting into the makeup game (hello, Gareth Pugh!) which makes sense since fashion and beauty go hand in well-manicured hand. Like designers before him–Jason Wu’s collab with CND and Prabal Gurung’s with Sally Hansen come to mind–Giles Deacon is launching a nail polish line.

Grazia is hanging out with the designer this week and he let slip to them that he’s making a foray into the popular world of nail lacquer. He’s done a clothing and accessories collection, called “Gold” with UK high street retailer New Look for several seasons now. The nail polish will be a part of this collection, so we’re not sure if we’ll be able to get our hands on it here in the US.
