Lakshmi is so beautiful! It’s refreshing to see Hermès use an ethnic person on its ad campaign.

When the going gets tough, the tough goes black. I never thought I would say this but Amy Winehouse looks so chic in her outfit. She was spotted in London this Wednesday in a head-to-toe black ensemble. I love her accessories: checkered tie, bag, gloves and the cinch belt.
Wow. Just wow!
Here’s what British Vogue has to say about Karl Lagerfeld’s latest haute couture collection for Chanel:
TAKING his inspiration from the flotsam and jetsam of the ocean floor, Karl Lagerfeld celebrated 25 years at the house of Chanel this morning with a stunning collection of draped, tucked and ruffled pieces that turned his girls (their hair-swept up and adorned with bejewelled metal bands), into the most seductive water nymphs imaginable.
AFP Report:
PARIS (AFP) — From seashells to mermaids, real and imaginary inhabitants of the deep were the inspiration of Jean Paul Gaultier’s summer haute collection on Wednesday. His show opened with a cheeky reinterpretation of Copenhagen’s famous little mermaid reclining on a rock surrounded by soap bubbles. Gaultier’s mermaids, with flowing damp tresses, sported his infamous conical bras over their fishtail skirts, which looked like real scales.
British Vogue Review:
The silhouette was determinedly hourglass, all cinched waists and clear décolletage; the woman who wears Armani Privé is assured and unrelenting in her sense of chic. Despite the softness of the draping, folding and tucking, there is always a sense of rigour and structure in the signature, most apparent here in precision-cut evening coats, elaborately embroidered bodices, one-shoulder gowns where the strap is entirely bejewelled and that wonderful skirt shape - like a pencil, but nipped in at the knee.
