While the Met’s Savage Beauty exhibit is filled with breathtaking pieces from the late Alexander McQueen, there’s nothing like seeing his creations in motion. While we’d certainly all know this to be true, there was a surprising lack of his dresses on the red carpet, save for a few winning entrances by Sarah Jessica Parker, Karen Elson, Gisele Bündchen and Vogue‘s Hamish Bowles. The inimitable Daphne Guinness didn’t disappoint either, not only dressing in one of the designer’s most fantastical creations, but also giving onlookers a chance to peep her very own collection as she got dressed in Barneys New York‘s store windows. Here, we give you our favourite tribs from last night’s ode to the late and great McQueen.

A longstanding and decidedly British tradition is donning all kinds of extravagant headwear to nuptials⎯a tradition the royal family has long followed.
Catering to both the fashion crowd as well as royalty is designer and milliner Philip Treacy, a former protégé of Isabella Blow, and frequent collaborator of the late Alexander McQueen⎯besides virtually every female royal, his pieces have sat on the heads of Lady Gaga, SJP, Grace Jones and Daphne Guinness.

What does one wear to a Chanel boutique re-opening party? Chanel, bien sur! Think gold chains by way of belt or bijoux, pearls (and lots of them, darling) and tweed anything. Oh, and keep that palette to a stark black and white. Throw in a camillia or two and you look, well…passable–especially in light of the style scene at last night’s re-opening of the company’s SoHo boutique.
The chiseled male cater waiters (each vaguely resembling Karl’s muse Baptiste Giabiconi) offered up trays of bubbly and spray paint canisters emblazoned with CHANEL, for those looking to channel their inner Basquiat and spray for art’s sake on the wall outside the boutique. Kind of puts a new spin on street art, non?
Inside the store, 2.55 bags made the rounds on the arms of eds, buyers and socials. Derek Blasberg (bowtie and all) held court in a corner with BFF Byrdie Bell, Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo was talking biz beside a rather beastly looking mannequin kitted out in Fall 2010′s Nanook of the North ready-to-wear and photog Patrick Demarchelier was looking ever so handsome in his just-back-from-safari getup. But where oh where was the Kaiser himself? Well, he did show eventually, along with Hollywood’s glam gang–SJP, Liv Tyler, Claire Danes and Blake Lively, to name a few. Unfortunately, by this time I was already back uptown having dinner with the lovely folks at BCBG. Whoever said nothing good happens after 11 p.m. clearly has never been to a Chanel party.
My consolation prize? A silk Chanel scarf with a handpainted polar bear print, interlocking CCs and all.

Gucci will be unveiling a children’s collection later this month. The age range is 0 to 8, and the line features clothing, accessories and gifts–for when the silver spoon is actually a pair of Gucci logo-engraved sunglasses. Kids these days. [WWD] Read more »
