Valentino to design a capsule collection for Gap

Gap has gotten itself a new high-fashion collaborator. 

In honour of its first Italian store opening in Milan, the brand is launching a capsule collection with none other than Valentino.

Valentino's artistic directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have created an exclusive ready-to-wear women's collection to launch at the end of November.

Gap has previously collaborated with Pierre Hardy and Stella McCartney in 2009. 

Valentino for Gap will be available exclusively at Gap's new boutique in Milan, Colette in Paris, and Dover Street Market in London.

Looks like I'll be needing to take a trip to Europe for this one!

Spotted: Megan Fox at TIFF

It's times like these that I love living in Toronto!

New York's not the only city hosting a special event. The city of Toronto is luring in the hottest celebrities for Toronto's International Film Festival.

Megan Fox was one of the many stars who was spotted in Hollywood North.

The 23-year-old Transformers star attended the premiere of her latest film, Jennifer's Body, in a black Valentino dress and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Stunning, as usual!

Quote of the Day

"I think now all the girls look very ugly. I saw the pictures of the Metropolitan gala evening [in New York] last week and I never saw something more ugly, all the girls have their legs out with the most terrible proportions. I have so many ideas I could design a collection in two days but don't miss it at all."
- Valentino to the Guardian.

Paris Fashion Week Spring '09: Sonia Rykiel

Sonia Rykiel's show on Wednesday night was a fun and celebration. The dinner and show party was a tribute to her 40 years as a distinctively Parisienne designer, and her clothing was a representation of her recognizable style.

The collection was true to Parisian wear, with plenty of sequined berets, poufy skirts, ruffled dresses, hints of Moulin Rouge, and of course, lots of black and white.

After her collection was unveiled, Sonia's daughter Nathalie announced, "A birthday without a surprise isn't a birthday. You've been inspiring the world of fashion for 40 years; here's your present. Bon anniversaire, Maman."

Thirty more models came out in Sonia Rykiel looks designed by some of the biggest names in fashion, such as Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli, Michael Kors, Diane von Furtsenberg, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Vivienne Westwood.
