FASHION plates: Patti Smith
By Randi Bergman and Jordan Porter
In the world of icons, it truly doesn’t get any better than Patti Smith. We’d confess our undying devotion to the singer’s lyrics, voice, style, heart, poems and just about anything else she is responsible for (and let us tell you, there’s a lot). The recently released book of never-before-seen images, Patti Smith 1969-1976 by Judy Linn, breathes new life into her everlasting stylistic impact by showing her just before she hit the big time. We channeled Smith’s impact in the best way we know how, shopping in the name of!

Collaboration love: Shop Rodarte for Opening Ceremony in Canada!
Photography by Autumn de Wilde
The long-awaited collaboration between design darlings, Laura and Kate Mulleavy, and coolest place on earth, Opening Ceremony, is here! Well, online that is… The sisters channeled a similarly offbeat ‘70s inspiration as their spring 2011 collection into a selection of enviable separates for the label, at slightly lower prices than their own line. Featuring eyelet blazers, drip dyed cardigans, tapestry dresses and too many lace-up motifs to count, the collection screams baby, grandma and cool-girl all at the same time. You can view the collection online now, but if you’d like to shop the pieces in the flesh (or in the lace), they’ll be available exclusively in Canada at Holt Renfrew next month.

Fashion news: Coco Rocha gets hitched, Thom Browne does womenswear and Anna Wintour engages in some good old-fashioned NIMBYism
Big congrats to supermodel Coco Rocha, who tied the knot yesterday with her beau James Conran. The ceremony was held at the same castle in France where he originally proposed. Well played. [Modelina] See her at FASHION Magazine’s Strut for a Cure.
Yesterday, Anna Wintour spoke out against a Jamaican eatery opening in New York City’s West Village, citing “This is a unique historic neighborhood. I’m also concerned for the safety of the kids here.” Wintour then tried to get the crowd to partake in an unsanctioned hand-raising against the proposed eatery. [NY Daily News]

The dusty Ungaro drama is far from settling, with the announcement today that Estrella Archs leaving the label. “Estrella Archs announces that she has left her job as chief designer of Emanuel Ungaro due to irreconcilable differences related to the creative direction of the brand,” a spokesperson for the designer confirmed. [Vogue UK]
Anna Wintour spoke at the Pratt Institute last night in a tribute to Irving Penn, and we got a glimpse into the softer side of the Vogue editor-in-chief, calling Penn a “seductive” man who she immediately had “an intellectual crush [on].” She concluded her speech quite emotionally, saying “He made me a better editor. He was always in my head…. Irving’s gifts to us will not end.” [Fashionista] Read more »
