You may have seen sneak peeks of this in the April glossies, but now we finally have the full scoop: Pierre Hardy and NARS teamed up for a pretty fabulous makeup collection. It’s heavy on the nail polish and inspired by shoes. What could be better?

Place Your Bets on Charlotte Casiraghi for Gucci: The Royal daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco (and granddaughter of Grace Kelly) may be the next face of Gucci. Considering that Gucci provides the 25-year-old with her equestrian kit, this rumor has a lot of horsepower behind it. Plus this blue blood has a Blue Ribbon in fashion: she regularly sports Gucci and Chanel Haute Couture, and she covered the September issue of Paris Vogue. Nothing official yet, so we’ll just have to wait for the photo finish. UPDATE: It’s confirmed, reports Vogue UK. She’ll appear in a four-part series to be shot by Peter Lindbergh, all with a horsey theme. {Telegraph UK}
Daphne Guinness to Auction Her Clothing: After buying the late Isabella Blow’s entire collection to save it from the auction block, Guinness will now auction off 100 of her own unique pieces on June 27. The auction will be handled by Christie’s and the proceeds will go to the new Isabella Blow Foundation, which supports young art and fashion talent. Pieces from the likes of Chanel, Balenciaga, and McQueen will go on display from June 23 to the day of auction. Guinness is known for her incredible wardrobe, so start saving your pennies now! {Vogue UK}
Spotted: John Galliano in the Marais: One figure staying quiet in the Dior debate is former creative director Galliano. He’s been spotted in Paris keeping a low profile – well, low for Galliano – reportedly wearing a beanie over his signature blond locks and a pencil thin 20′s style mustache. He was leaving a café tout seul on Rue de Turenne Saturday night. {WWD}
Ever since Givenchy’s Fall 2011 show, I’ve been after the perfect leather pencil skirt to wear with oversize sweaters and neat sweatshirts. Luckily, Patrick Robinson and his team at Gap have offered up a more accessible version, along with several other desirable pieces for the specialty retailer’s Fall 2011 collection.
In addition to the leather pencil, I’ll also take the leather dress, the long flowing skirt, the grey marled sweaters, and those bone-colored mary janes, which I very much hope are part of next season’s Pierre Hardy collection.

Gap and Pierre Hardy just works. Gap and Valentino? We’re not so sure. The world’s biggest specialty retailer is teaming up with the historic fashion house to create a capsule collection, which will be available in a few of its European stores. (The US flagships are not scheduled to receive a shipment, unfortunately.) The partnership was formed to celebrate the opening of the new Gap stores in Milan and Rome. The launch will take place in November at the retailer’s new Milan flagship, but pieces will also be available at Colette, Dover Street Market, and Gap’s London flagship.
I was living in London when Gap did something similar with Roland Mouret and I will say that the results were impressive. And of course no one can forget Phoebe Philo’s “European collection” for the brand. But Mouret’s dresses are structured and Philo’s a minimalist–those looks were slightly easier to recreate in a knit than a silky blouse or ruffly frock, which is what the new Valentino team is best known for. It’ll be interesting to see what they turn out.
I love my Gap x Pierre Hardy platform sandals, and I nearly bought last year’s towering pirate boots.
So it’s no surprise this autumn’s peep toe lace-ups are on my “To Buy” list.
Sky-high heels are grand, but it’s flats we reach for on warm summer days. Whether you’re barbecuing, window shopping or wedding hopping, these ten pairs will will keep your feet firmly on the ground–and looking pretty. Click here to browse.
Gap’s new pant initiative is featured in this morning’s WWD, but we’re more interested in the barely mentioned Pierre Hardy shoes. There appear to be two for fall, so far. A black laced-up bootie has a wedge heel and either two types of leather or plain leather trim on top of suede. The other, a Read more →
Pierre Hardy’s first Gap collection debuted a few years ago. The brown sandal on the right was everywhere that summer—at least in New York. They cost about $90, which isn’t inexpensive for sandals, but is for Pierre Hardy. Anyone aged 13 to 60 could wear them, which means they also sold out within a week Read more →
Running Wild: More images have surfaced of Lanvin’s SS10 campaign featuring Jamie Bochert. She seems to be headbanging, which is exactly what we’d do if we were in head to toe Lanvin. {Refinery29} Topped with a Bow: Someone took a picture of Tavi’s hat at the Dior Couture show in Paris. We feel bad for Read more →
