A 50th anniversary is reason to celebrate, and that is just what Nicholas Kirkwood is doing. In honour of the UK-based store Liberty of London‘s Carnaby Street location, the brand is using two of their best-known floral prints-the Bounty and the Santa Maria-and covering a pair of their signature heels with the prints. Fingers crossed these styles make their way across the pond. [Fashionista]

Parting kisses: Favourite things from Paris

Show: Alexander McQueen—and I wasn’t even present. Too sick that night to crawl from bed, I—and thousands upon thousands of other obsessives—watched McQ’s first live-to-air catwalk on ShowStudio.com. Even from afar, I was spun in, so totally entranced by his entire underworld of alien warrior princesses. (And those shoes! The most wondrously physics-defying footwear since Theyskens’ heelless hooves for Nina Ricci. Which was just last season…but still.) Magnificent in scope, meticulous in execution, it was a show to write home about. Unless you were already there. Read more »

Paris street style: Oh BryanBoy

1 Comment

oct09parislovelies17sm Here’s BryanBoy–that’s Monsieur Bryan Boy to you, as per his calligraphied LV invite. The thrilla from Manila has been wearing Rad Hourani around this town all week, and looking–his word–fabu. After the Vuitton show, we talked about how cool Canadians are right now: Rad, Mark Fast, Jeremy Laing.. “What’s in your water?” he demanded to know. Well, we have some of the cleanest tap water in the world, so not a lot. Maybe it’s in our beer?
