And speaking of rebooted French brands, Jacques Fath is getting relaunched under the direction of Laurence Dumenil, with a full range of accessories debuting for Spring 2011. Between now and then, however, Dumenil already has a capsule collection, inspired by the Fath archives and handmade in a family-owned factory in Angers, France, hitting Los Angeles's Satine Boutique shortly — see one style here.

>> Daria Werbowy has never appeared in a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show lineup, but it's not because Victoria's Secret didn't want her. According to The Imagist, back before Werbowy signed her Lancome contract in April 2005, Lancome and Victoria's Secret were in a bidding war over her: "It was down to the wire till the last moment. Two power clients bidding at the same time for the exclusive services of [Werbowy]. And then the negotiations swung the way of Lancome, and the rest is contract history." [The Imagist]
