Free Bird

erry Labor Day, y'all.



Just a quick post on this day off, as they are few and far between. Sienna Miller, in the awe-inspringly large September Vogue, donning feathers for a shoot in Rome with Mario Testino. Below, she wears the sunglasses from the Chanel haute couture runway show.

Dodging the paparazzi (named after Paparazzo, the photographer character in Fellini's La Dolce Vita), Italian actor-heartthrob Riccardo Scamarcio gives a quilled Miller a lift, incognito-style. Armani Privé black-and-fuchsia feather jacket. TSE cashmere-and-silk tank. OMO Norma Kamali leggings. Chanel Haute Couture sunglasses. On Scamarcio: Miu Miu black suit and white shirt.

I originally profiled these shades in "Karl Rules." Lately I cannot get enough of Style.com's blog, Style File, where they featured this and other great backstage shots. Those models are so silly!

Karl Rules

sk yourself: Could Karl Lagerfeld be cooler? I submit that he can not! Couture sunglasses: I'm lovin' it.

He outfitted the models in Chanel's Fall Couture 2007 show earlier this week in pretty, pretty shades. Doesn't model Vivian Orth look lovely?

Haute Flash

had the opportunity to look at the the Giorgio Armani Prive runway photographs this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find Mr. Armani had incorporated sunglasses into his couture show.

Like the sunglasses shown in Balenciaga's Spring/Summer '07 show, the Armani shades are an extension of this season's emphasis on metallics.

I'm sure we'll be seeing Katie Holmes looking alien-chic in them any day now.

Posh & Katie Cruise Will Always Have Paris

he Paris runway shows march on and the usual suspects (see: Uncle Karl, et al) are on hand to see and be seen in the couture finery.

On Tuesday, Victoria Beckham cruised the Chanel show.

Posh in her own design DVB 8 Aviators.

Check out her collection at DVBstyle.

"Aviators will never fail to be a popular design. This oversized style has the dvb logo subtly etched on the lens."

Her good pal, Katie Holmes, is also in Paris to see the shows. She was photographed on Wednesday doing some shopping in the City of Light. Judging by her eyewear, Ms. Holmes is staying true to her designer of choice, Giorgio Armani.

Sunglasses were even on the runway! Jean Paul Gautier's show featured this green pair. I wonder what couture shades go for and what sunglasses have to do with religious iconography, but what do I know?
