Carine Roitfeld Pulls an Anna Wintour at Calvin Klein February 19, 2009 8:53 pm >> Anna Wintour is legendary for popping her Chanel shades on right as the lights goes dim, but Carine Roitfeld? Not so much — until this afternoon, when she wore a pair of aviators during the Calvin Klein show. Peep her looks throughout this Fashion Week, including her favorite pieces — a giant petal-colored muppet coat and a pair of Sigerson Morrison heels, and then enjoy a surprise appearance of her husband, the elusive Christian Restoin, who was in town for their son's photography exhibit.*image: source, source, filmmagic, source

The 2009 Costume Institute Gala Will Be Lagerfeld-Less; Plus More New Attendees May 1, 2009 4:35 pm >> We had a good list or two going for earlier in the week for Monday's Costume Institute Gala attendees, but as final fittings are taking place and diamonds are being chosen, more pairs are being revealed — and even more major designers are bowing out. Take Karl Lagerfeld, close friend to Anna Wintour — he won't be attending due to a busy travel schedule that includes Venice, Moscow and London. Also declining to show: Matthew Williamson, Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli, who haven't confirmed any guests — they're still "in fittings" — perennial Dior face Charlize Theron, Carolyn Murphy, LVMH brass (who are sponsoring) Bernard Arnault, Delphine Arnault, Antoine Arnault, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.
