If Donna Karan's front row was any indication--Ali Larter, Joy Bryant, Marisa Berenson, Goldie Hawn--this collection was intended for women of any age. The show notes explained that the collection was inspired by Karan's search for a hand-blocked scarf. It was a journey that took her, she said, from India to Israel, and while she never found the scarf she was looking for, she found inspiration for spring 2014.
Gwyneth Paltrow is the face of Hugo Boss's new fragrance, Boss Nuit Pour Femme. {WWD} You know who else likes dressing like Olivia Palermo and Kate Middleton? Orthodox Jews.

The idea of having a charmed life seems very far-fetched these days, but Marisa Berenson is living proof that it's possible. Elsa Schiaparelli is Marisa's grandmother, and Diana Vreeland was a good family friend who put Marisa in Vogue at the age of 16 (well, actually, Marisa first appeared in Vogue as a baby when her christening portrait, shot by Irving Penn, was printed in the glossy.) She went on to have a stellar career as a model, being lensed by the likes of Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Hiro, and Richard Avedon. She eventually smashed through the model/actress barrier, with a breakout turn in Stanley Kubrick's film Barry Lyndon. While we could go on and on about her accomplishments and career, luckily we don't have to: Marisa has a book out now titled Marisa Berenson: A Life in Pictures (Rizzoli, 2011) which was edited by Steven Meisel. As the title suggests, it's a pictorial retrospective, and much like Marisa herself, stunning and completely fascinating.
It's officially mid-November, which means it's probably time to start shopping for holiday gifts...or at least thinking about it. Not sure what to get your fashion-obsessed loved one? This year, we'd recommend a pretty fashion book, especially because there are so many good ones that have come out recently. Who wouldn't want a photographic look back at the house of Gucci or Carine Roitfeld's career sitting on their coffee table?
