Best Dressed: LC in Urban, Kirsten in Miu Miu and More

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 04:00 PM PST

This week was all about keeping it simple with neutrals and solids. Emmy Rossum pulled off head-to-toe orange (which Drew Barrymore recently proved is quite difficult to do) in this J. Mendel outfit. Lauren Conrad went low key and low price point in this lovely dress which we would have never guessed was from Urban Outfitters. Actress Claire Foy looked elegant in this Yigal Azrouel number. Kirsten Dunst killed it in Miu Miu, again. Finally, Winona Ryder looked classy as ever in this green velvet Jean Patou frock.

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 03:27 PM PST

Some ads were successful at conveying the label’s message, and others struggled to get a point across. Click though to see whose ads made the grade and whose fell short.

Fragrance Friday: What’s Coming To A Perfume Counter Near You

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 02:34 PM PST

WWD is chock full of fragrance news today. Let’s review.

Rihanna’s Reb’l Fleur: Rihanna‘s fragrance launches January 25, and you can expect it to be accompanied by a very loud advertising campaign. She’ll be on billboards everywhere, including Times Square in NYC. A 30-second video will be launched online with hopes it will go viral (isn’t it funny that this is now a marketing strategy?) The video will also be made into a commercial that will be shown in 1,900 movie theaters.

The fragrance name refers to Rihanna’s nickname given to her by her grandmother in Barbados. It’s a strong scent with fruit notes, hibiscus, violet, coconut water, vanilla, patchouli, amber, and musk. Rihanna said it will be “like high heels with a short, flirty dress.” Prices will range from $30-$59.

Gucci Guilty For Guys: Gucci Guilty has killed it at perfume counters, in no small part because of its video starring Evan Rachel Wood and an innovative online marketing strategy. Gucci and P&G Luxury are hoping to capitalize again on the younger demographic with Gucci Guilty Pour Homme, which launches this March abroad and April in the US. Expect a similar 3-D commercial (to go along with Gucci’s 3D sunglasses?) and slick print campaigns.

The scent itself shares DNA with the women’s Guilty, and has notes of lavender, citrus, green leaves, pink pepper, cedar, sandalwood, and amber. Prices will range from $27-$73.

Cartier de Lune Is Blue: Cartier‘s new fragrance will launch at Saks counters in late January. It’s a white floral musk priced from $75-$98. The most shocking thing? The bottle is blue–gasp! Cartier shied away from its signature red because they believe it made more sense for this fragrance, which is inspired by “the radiance of the moon.”

The @NoBtotheS Guide to Fashion Blogs

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 01:01 PM PST

Welcome back to @NoBtotheS's series on the suicide inducing habits of people in the fashion industry. (Editor's note: If you're not familiar with NoBtotheS, or No Bullshit, s/he is an anonymous fashion publicist working in New York City who's famed for a hilarious Twitter account.)

Blogs. We all know it’s a jungle out there–for every 400 delusional frights there is that one diamond in the rough you can’t help but refer back to on a daily basis. But first, a quick disclaimer. I give credit to anyone who dedicates the time to put their life and thoughts online via Tumblr, Blogger, Wordpress or whatever platform it may be. But just as cream rises to the top, there are those that get it and those that completely miss the mark, leading to the inevitable bashing of my head against my keyboard. Below, a breakdown of the good, the bad and the very, very ugly.

Five Reasons We’re Stoked for Pitti

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 11:39 AM PST

I’m heading off to Pitti Uomo and Pitti W next week, Florence’s men’s and women’s fairs. Other than eating authentic Neapolitan pizza, which I’m clearly most excited about, there are a ton of great events and shows going on during the week that are sure to make it a memorable few days:

1. Trussardi dal 1911. The Italian house will celebrate its 100th birthday at Pitti with a Fall 2011 runway show. The show will be live-streamed on www.trussardi.com, and brand devotees will be able to buy certain items immediately following the event on www.thecorner.com. There will also be a ton of great pieces from Trussardi’s archives on hand–including gloves from the original Dante Trussardi glove factory–for attendees to view.

2. Liberty’s Men’s Club Cocktail Party. When I lived in London I attended many Liberty of London cocktail parties. I remember one in particular, for jeweler Shaun Leane, where Elton John, Isabella Blow, and Sam Taylor Wood all showed up. Add some canapes, fancy decor, Champagne, and what you have equals magic. So yes, despite my old lady disposition, I’m am thrilled to clink glasses with the Liberty crew yet again. This time around, we’ll be celebrating the launch of their menswear collection, produced by Slowear.

Emanuelle Alt is the New Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 09:06 AM PST

After less than a month of speculation, Vogue Paris has announced that its new editor-in-chief is Emanuelle Alt.

Alt, a stylist known most recently for her work with Balenciaga and Isabel Marant, will replace Carine Roitfeld immediately, according to the magazine’s website. And here’s where we offload some gossip:

According to our reliable sources, Roitfeld and Alt haven’t been getting along recently. Roitfeld went to Jonathan Newhouse, complaining that “something had to be done” about the situation. Newhouse, “fed up” with Roitfeld’s shady dealings–that Balenciaga thing we reported on a year ago, the stuff Racked reported on last month–told the editor that the thing to be done was her resignation.

Given LVMH, Balenciaga, and other label’s withdrawal from advertising in the magazine over the last year, this explanation doesn’t sound so crazy to us. Regardless, we’re still huge fans of Carine’s styling work, and we adore Emanuelle’s personal style. Whether or not Alt has the same unshakable point of view that makes Carine so powerful, we’ll soon find out. As she state’s on Vogue.fr, “It’s a great honor for me, but also a great pleasure to become the editor of Vogue Paris that I know so well. In working with very talented teams I will try to develop the the incredible potential of Vogue Paris.”

Balenciaga Hires LVMH Alum Katherine Ross to Refocuss Its US Communications Strategy

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 08:51 AM PST

Balenciaga, part of PPR’s Gucci Group, may be well-regarded for its trend-withstanding handbags and innovative runway shows. But when it comes to marketing, the luxury label typically takes the traditional route, choosing the occasional magazine advertisement as its main source of communicating its brand to clients. At least those living in the US.

Until now.

Watch Kate Moss Being Caressed By Cartoon Snakes As She Models For Balmain

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 08:21 AM PST

Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot Kate Moss for Balmain‘s AW 2010/11 campaign. But while they were at it, they also filmed this simultaneously quirky and haunting video of her which premiered on Nowness. The short is called “Everglade,” after the Antony and the Johnsons song that provides the soundtrack, and shows an unwitting Moss being caressed by cartoon snakes, trapped in a cartoon whirlpool, and finally entangled in a cartoon network of roots. "We talked to [Jo Ratcliffe, the animator/illustrator] about it being half horror and half Disney," Van Lamsweerde told the site. Mission accomplished.
