Givenchy
Last night’s MET Gala was a punk rock star-studded event. From SJP flashing her lacy knickers and custom Louboutin thigh-highs in a wild Philip Treacy headdress to Madonna’s super short plaid Givenchy and playful black wig, the veterans showed the PYTs how it’s done. Not even Katy Perry’s religious-inspired Dolce & Gabanna gown (and crown!) [...]
For all the jaw-dropping amazingness currently coming out of the “House de Givenchy,” this is a disappointing tribute. I appreciate Riccardo Tisci’s way with heavy-metal hardware (as well as his unflinching love for it), but other than that industrial touch at the handles, this bag misses the beat.

This season, quilting stays strong, while receiving a modern [...]

The design on the Diane von Furstenberg (at Saks Fifth Avenue for $395) gives us black Jackson Pollock-esque splatterings with unique texture that’s not [...]
