All the Best Looks From Last Night's amfAR Gala

Christina Perez — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:24:53 PST

>> Last night's amfAR gala to kick off Fall 2012 Fashion Week had it all. There were superstars (Julianne Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker), icons (Carine Roitfeld, Roberto Cavalli), and way too many supermodels to count - Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, Molly Sims, Erin Heatherton, and Anja Rubik, just to name a few. Cavalli, who was honored at the event, offered insight into his newfound passion: social media. "I discovered I love to write. It's a new emotion," the designer explained. "I love to watch when people write me back, it's such love." See images from the evening - which raised $1.4 million for AIDS research, prevention, and education - here.

Donatella Versace Thinks Karl Lagerfeld Is a "Genius"; Roberto Cavalli, Not So Much

fashionologie — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:05:58 PDT

>> Versace is about to turn a profit for the first time in a decade, according to Donatella Versace: “Our business hasn’t been so good in 10 years." The lovefest between the designer and Christopher Kane is well known, but she has a few choice words for a couple of other prominent designers.

Of Karl Lagerfeld, a friend of many years, she says: “He’s a living genius and he’s fearless." As for Roberto Cavalli, Donatella opines: “I think that to do a collection - how do you say - as an homage to Versace, this is fine. But when you do a lot of collections as an homage to Versace - why? What’s the point?” After that comment, she looks at her publicist: “Was I a beetch?” Then she bursts out laughing.

fashionologie — Mon, 23 May 2011 15:15:42 PDT

>> This year's Cannes Film Festival came to a close yesterday; French though it may be, aside from Chanel, it was the Italian brands who reigned supreme amongst this red carpet bunch: Giorgio Armani, Emilio Pucci, and Roberto Cavalli, in particular. But that's not to say there weren't one-off sightings of Alaia, Louis Vuitton, and Chloe - and even Melanie Laurent in her second Dior couture gown, providing another preview of what's to come from the house's design studio in July. Giovanna Battaglia's vintage Versace get-up, Kirsten Dunst's Rodarte look, and more in the slideshow.

Behind-the-Scenes at the Alberta Ferretti, Ralph Lauren Fall 2011 Campaign Shoots; Plus, Lanvin and Roberto Cavalli Cast Details

fashionologie — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 13:59:13 PDT

>> The Fall 2011 campaign parade continues: Arizona Muse was on set for Alberta Ferretti yesterday, as were Valentina Zeliaeva and Magdalena Frackowiak for Ralph Lauren (left).

Raquel Zimmermann recently confirmed: "I'll be in the Lanvin campaign which was shot by photographer Steven Meisel, but I can not describe how it was, total secrecy until the campaign out!" And Roberto Cavalli is reportedly employing Natasha Poly, Mariacarla Boscono, and Karen Elson to be shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and styled by Panos Yiapanis.

After Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted leaving Coach headquarters recently with Reed Krakoff, meanwhile, rumors have been fanned that the actress might be a new face for either Coach or Krakoff's Coach-funded eponymous label.
