Raf Simons veered confidently toward the retro-futuristic for Christian Dior‘s Resort 2014, in a subtle exploration of the chrome-inflected sleekness that epitomized mid-century automotives.
It was no coincidence that his models walked in Monaco, home to one of France’s most storied raceways.
The costumes designed by Miuccia Prada for The Great Gatsby have been the subject of much buzz in the months leading up to the movie’s (very) long-awaited release–and now, you can check them out at Prada’s SoHo store.
We sat down with The Great Gatsby producer, set designer and costumer Catherine Martin to get all the dish on how the incredible clothes and sets came together. She revealed that you might even be able to see them up close and in person at an upcoming exhibition, too.

You never know what you’re going to get with Miuccia Prada. I mean this is the woman who made plain nylon bags–and massive Geisha-inspired platforms–a thing. Prada is the rare designer who can dart between over-the-top editorial-bait (see: Spring 2013, Spring 2010), and understated, quiet luxury without ever seeming like she’s lost her way. For fall 2013, she went with the latter: A moody, yet surprisingly wearable, collection.
Everything from the slightly unsettling shadow play moving on the walls–a cat’s tail swishing, fans slowly turning, and a woman posing as if for a mirror–to the suspenseful music set the tone for darkly cinematic collection.

It’s no surprise that at last night’s WWD CEO Summit, Jacobs declared Mrs. Prada his all-time favorite designer, dead or alive. “What she’s created with her husband is really incredible,” he said. “I’m just a big fan.”
That wasn’t all Jacobs revealed during his chat with WWD executive editor Bridget Foley. The designer went on about his current contract negotiations with LVMH (without saying too much, of course). “I’m not really sure…I know that we’re discussing [renegotiations],” he said vaguely when Foley pressed.
He was more frank about his upcoming beauty line with Sephora.
