Michel Gaubert has a laugh that makes you want to get him alone with a gin and tonic and a confidentiality vow, and ask him to dish about his three decades in the fashion world. Rarely in the spotlight but always in the vanguard (and on the guest list), Gaubert is an insider’s insider, the style set’s most trusted DJ. He’s partied with Thierry Mugler and Jerry Hall, collaborated with Longchamp, and created runway soundtracks for power houses such as Balenciaga, Dries Van Noten and—most notably and consistently—for Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel.

A full day of shows + 28° temps (a little unseasonal, n’est pas?) = time to get creative in the clothing department. Sadly, my suitcases are very un-Mary (as in Poppins); the items I packed­—mostly fall pieces—are hanging in my hotel room closet, literally ready to wear, but with several more hot days in the forecast, I keep poking my head into my now-empty bags hoping to pull out a cool (in every sense of the word) SS 2011 piece. The upswing? My skin has never looked better. Good thing the fashion industry is flexible, switching its direction almost as quickly as the weather. Here’s our roasty-to-wear round-up of the top 5 ways to beat the heat on (and off) the SS 2012 runways:

Ones to watch: Heaven Tanudiredja’s baubles are well, heavenly

Comments

Since then, Antwerp has become a breeding ground for innovative design⎯and jewellery designer Heaven Tanudiredja is no exception.

DRIES VAN NOTEN Spring 2011. Photography by Peter Stigter

The Paris spring 2011 collections opened with Dries Van Noten showing en plein air alongside the Seine with the gentle breeze giving life to his orchid-print chiffons and long white shirts.
