We chat with the jewelry designer about her second shop, guest curating the latest 'A Magazine,' and how it's all "like a voyage to another dimension when you encounter different planets."
Stella McCartney, Sacai and Saint Laurent all showed their spring collections on Monday.
It’s definitely not who you’re imagining.
We all know Style.com as the go-to site for runway galleries and incisive reviews. To keep readers coming back when it's not fashion month (though with resort, pre-fall, couture, etc., when is it not?) Style.com has today announced the launch of a new channel called Style Map.
We're counting down the seconds until we can watch season four of Arrested Development, which hits Netflix at midnight PST on Monday! To celebrate, we put together a little shopping guide based on some of our favorite Arrested Development gags--because while it's fun to dress up in costume, we also don't mind buying things that we can wear again.
Delfina Delettrez sometimes seems like she's from another planet. The 25-year-old jewelry designer and fourth generation Fendi is gorgeous, has this preternatural calm about her (the excellent posture helps), dresses ever so elegantly, and yet churns out these freaky, macabre, wildly imaginative creations season after season. But for fall 2013, Delettrez truly was looking to the otherworldly for inspiration. We're talking X-Files stuff here: UFOs, aliens, mysterious lights in the sky. So does Delettrez believe? We asked.
Deflina Delettrez's jewelry always leaves us with our jaws hanging open--and her latest collection is no exception.
Earlier this month, Glee creator Ryan Murphy revealed that Sarah Jessica Parker would guest star on season four of the series playing the editor of
Last week in Florence at a modern white open space in the Galleria Antonella Villanova, jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez Fendi presented her first ever exhibition. She called it, fittingly, The Delphinarium. At just 24, and having only designed jewelry for the past five years, she's young to be presenting a retrospective of her past 10 collections. If you didn't know her work and talent, it might even sound audacious. But Delettrez is one of the most imaginative talents around--and the exhibition she conceived of to present her jewelry was modest--not to mention clever, inventive, and slightly creepy. With live animals, to boot.
It was tricky to get to the Université Pierre & Marie Curie last night for Kenzo's fall 2012 show. The location was out of the way and it was pourin

FHM Philippines Scraps Racist Cover: FHM Philippines planned to publish their March issue with a cover featuring local fair-skinned actress, Bela Padilla pushing past a group of Filipina models painted to appear black. The offending photo was captioned "stepping out of the shadows." As expected, FHM Philippines "apologized" profusely, saying, “In our pursuit to come up with edgier covers, we will strive to be more sensitive.” When the BBC asked Ms. Padilla about the cover, she expressed surprise at the negative reaction, claiming they "weren't thinking of racial discrimination" during the shoot. It seems Ms. Padilla and co. weren't thinking at all. {BBC} Kate Moss, Not Alexa Chung, Was Supposed to Float on Knives at Stella McCartney's Party: The model was set to be in illusionist Hans Klok's magic act, but her paralyzed arm kept her from participating. Alexa Chung, being the trooper she is, stepped in at the last minute. {Grazia} Kate Middleton Wears an M Missoni Coat: What's that you say? Kate Middleton wore clothes on a visit somewhere? Fancy that! The Duchess hit up Fortnum & Mason yesterday in a blue M Missoni coat and grey suede pumps. {Grazia}
Let's face it: Most men don't have the best taste in jewelry. We've seen enough tacky diamonds and hideous gold necklaces to know that. In honor of Valentine's Day, we've compiled a list of all the jewelry that a woman would actually want, as a handy, last minute guide for all the gents out there. Overnight shipping may come in handy in these situations. There's a cute bunny necklace from Hillier, Margiela cuffs, and a little Lanvin for the romantic in everyone. Ladies, it's probably a good idea to send your favorites to your beaus now, just so they have some time to return that nameplate necklace and get you something you really want.
Last week in Paris we took a break from the shows to see Delfina Delettrez's jewelry presentation at the refreshingly open, light-filled (and cool!) Espace Rabih Kayrouz. And we were so glad we did. Delettrez is known for her fantastical imaginative creations so we already knew we were going to see great inventive jewelry. What we didn't expect to see were wigs. Crazy, Marie Antoinette-on-acid, hands-growing-out-of-hair wigs--all of them covered with Delettrez's jewelry. And lest you think those wigs were just some crazy presentation gimmick, it's all part of the collection. Delettrez designed the wigs as well. The collection, is fittingly titled "Love is in the Hair." "I've always been obsessed with hair," Delettrez told us. "It's so powerful. In ancient times, when men had long hair it was a sign of virility and strength." After trying one on, she said she felt "different, royal."

Delfina Delettrez creates jewelry that is not for the shy of heart. Her dramatic baubles take the form of eyes, arachnids, skeletons, and frogs, mixing the surreal with the luxurious. These aren't basic jewels for trophy wives: these are amazing artistic creations meant for the bold. It makes sense that Delfina designs for strong women, as her life is filled with them. (Her mother, Silvia Venturini, is the creative director for accessories at Fendi). We love Delettrez's designs so much, we included them in our fantasy holiday wish list . So we were thrilled to have the opportunity to interview the young designer about her line.
The best gifts to give and get this Valentine's day. No, seriously, they're awesome. 0
We know the holidays aren't about the getting or the spending, but if there was ever a time to wish for that bespoke Tom Ford, this is it. From the windows at Saks and Barneys to the Christmas displays in Opening Ceremony, stores are transformed into wonderlands where even the most Scrooge-hearted of shoppers can't help wistfully picking up that Céline tote. In honor of Christmas fantasies, we've picked out the gifts we dream of receiving one day. Let's hope Santa Karl is in a giving mood this year.
