Tim Walker Previews Mulberry Sponsored Exhibit

The exhibition, Story Teller, features images and films from Walker’s fantastical and whimsical repertoire and the props used to create them. His portraits include Vivienne Westwood, Alber Elbaz, Alexander McQueen and Anna Piaggi.

Walker has made no secret of his desire to direct a feature film, and he said he spent the summer reading books in search of one he might adapt. He found four: “I’m in the process of trying to negotiate the rights for four books. It’s quite a complicated process,” he said, but declined to give further details.

Karl Lagerfeld explains Chanel's hula-hoop beach bag

At the Chanel spring 2013 show, Karl Lagerfeld presented the hula-hoop/beach bag.

 "It's for the beach, "Lagerfeld told the Daily Telegraph post-show. "You need space for the beach towel. And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it." Which makes sense, actually, except there are a lot of other, less expensive ways to hang your wet bathing suit at the beach. Like, on your umbrella. Or on a surfboard, if you're into that. Or on the back of your beach chair, like the rest of the world who might not have the upper body strength to tote that thing around.

Elie Saab Spring 2013 Paris Fashion Week

Elie Saab Spring 2013 - this collection with a more youthful vibe than in seasons past. Several fluid dresses in a bright, Rorschach-like print had a casual elegance that felt fresh. There was also some appealing tailoring: a button-down shirt with matching pants, and a sculpted jacket, shorts and handbag, all worked in a strong blue tone. While they were heavy on monochromatics, the looks had a working-girl sensibility .

Still, plenty of Saab’s more expected eveningwear was mixed in, including embellished formfitting lace dresses - both short and sexy and long and slinky - in nude, turquoise and fiery red. The strongest ones came in the finale: gowns in a fine lace with ribbons placed around the lower torso and waist to accentuate a more sensual silhouette -They added a romantic touch.
