Karen Elson, Raquel Zimmermann Pair Up for Lanvin's Fall 2011 Campaign
Celine Resort 2012 Collection
>> Slouchy silhouettes and a heavy dose of prints stood out at Phoebe Philo's Resort 2012 collection for Celine. There were floral jacquard skirts, graphic rose-print jackets, paneled-leather dresses, loose-cut trousers (in hot pink and cobalt), and plenty of sheer blouses to go around. Accessories included oversized belts with giant buckles and shiny white peep-toe platforms. The sum of all these intersecting parts? The kind of cool-girl femininity that Philo's Celine is revered for.
Carla Bruni Basically Officially Confirms She's Pregnant
>> Carla Bruni, who is said to be 5 and a half months pregnant, has finally — after playing cat-and-mouse with many inquiring reporters — alluded to the fact that she's pregnant. In an interview with Nice-Matin, she mentions a "happy event that is more and more difficult to conceal." When asked about why she hasn't spoken about the pregnancy, she replied: "To protect myself, to not put my private life on display. It's a source of great happiness for me, but after all, it's banal and the people [of France] have plenty of problems, so it would be inappropriate to talk about it. We are already so media-exposed." As for the rumors that she's having a boy, she said: "Well, that — I don't even know myself. There are things that we keep secret." And on her position as France's first lady, she quips: "Three years as first lady — and it's much less tiring than ten years of modeling." [HuffPo, People]
Miu Miu Resort 2012
>> While many used their Resort 2012 collections to go beachy — a number of designers even trying their hand at swimswear for the first time — it's clear that Miuccia Prada was thinking holiday instead. In amongst the oversized gingham check and eighties-y lightning bolt prints of Miu Miu's Resort 2012 collection were party-ready balloon minidresses, piles of costume jewelry, and strappy glitter heels — the collection will hit stores near the end of the year, after all.
