Va Va Voom

he New York Times Magazine this week profiled Ken Downing, the fashion director and senior vice president of Neiman Marcus on the advent of the store's 100th anniversary. He shared some of his picks for the season.


Included amongst them are these kitschy cat-eye sunglasses from the Christian Dior Resort 2008 Collection by John Galliano:

John Galliano’s resort collection for Dior paid homage to the irreverent, load-it-on aesthetic of the style mavens (and Downing heroines) Peggy Guggenheim and Dodie Rosekrans. “You can picture Peggy wearing these sunglasses as she stepped into a gondola outside her palazzo in Venice.”

Downing couldn't be more on target with his Peggy Guggenheim comparison, as seen at right.

Campy or not, I loved this Dior show. And this backstage photograph of Dita Von Teese and Kylie Minogue!

The Last Beautiful Girl

ngelina Jolie and her main squeeze were helicoptered from Manhattan to the Hamptons earlier this weekend to attend a charity dinner.


What other celebrity's paparazzi shots look like outtakes from a high fashion shoot? Not one. There is simply no one else who works a helipad like her.

And, of course, the Dolce & Gabbana DG 6035 sunglasses look great too. They are available on Otticanet for $208.

I think these photos of Angelina wearing them rival the ad campaign starring Coco Rocha. What do you think?

Ashley Outtakes

h-ha! Just as I suspected. The Chanel 5018 sunglasses worn by Ashley Olsen in Marie Claire are the mogul's own.


The Marie Claire "Behind the Scenes" feature proclaims:

She brought the best accessories -- her own Lee Morris cuff and half-tinted Chanel sunglasses.
