Fashion news: Burkas on the runway, glaciers at Chanel and Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry
A few designers flipped the French government the bird during Paris Fashion Week: In the midst of a heated ongoing debate in the country regarding banning burkas, designers Marithé and François Girbaud and Jean Charles de Castelbajac incorporated interpretations of burkas into their shows.

Amy Winehouse is set to design for Fred Perry. Apparently she’s always been a huge fan, but…seriously Amy Winehouse is designing a collection for Fred Perry? Anyway, it hits stores in October. [Vogue UK]
Chanel had a 265-tonne man-made glacier shipped from Sweden, but you can’t import water into France, so they had to ship it back after the show. [The Cut]
Matthew Williamson is designing a capsule collection handbags for Bulgari. This is Bulgari’s first designer collab. [WWD]
Sarah Jessica Parker‘s debut collection for Halston Heritage is for sale Net-a-Porter. A few of the pieces will be featured in Sex and the City 2, so if you really dig the Carrie look, now’s your chance. [Racked]
Remember the Italian label Ellesse? No? They’re a sportif brand popular in the ’70s and ’80′s. The label is being brought back to life with blindingly bright oversized tees, over the knee socks, hats, sneakers and velour. [T]
Lagerfeld says: “We are in the middle of change, like the movies changed. There will be a change from two-dimensions to three-dimensions, just as films went from silent to talking. This is a very interesting period. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. These are our times, and if you start to fight against them, you are lost. You are a loser or a has-been.” Don’t hold back there, Karl.
