Keeping up with the Kardashian’s newest season launched Sunday night and you’re seeing here images from the launch-night red carpet event. The shoes featured here belong to Khris Jenner, plus Kourt and Kim (Khloe was vacationing with Lamar in Spain). Can you guess whose are whose shoes…..read after the flip to see! As for the show, it’s definitely viewing that you want to watch and comment on with a pal who gets it. I know some of you are going to throw virtual tomatoes at me, but there is something Sex & the City-ish about it, especially the concept of fashion being the fifth character, plus there are some cute parallels between the four leading ladies, too! (Carrie/Kim, Miranda/Khloe, Charlotte/Kourtney and Samantha/Khris.) As for what you missed if you didn’t tune in, it was basically the continuing battle of Scott Disick versus everyone but poor Kourt, who is currently the living embodiment of the blinding effects of love. More images after the flip, including Sophie Monk who had the ovaries to walk the red carpet with a completely busted pedi–scandal!!

A November ship date for the LaPerla X Jean Paul Gaultier lingerie collabo has announced, along with more detailed images, which come via Fashionlvr. Though I can’t help but wonder, could this possibly be the first time Jean Paul Gaultier has gone in on a lingerie collaboration? After all, as he states, “Lingerie is part of my DNA and of my heritage. It is now almost thirty years since I have designed my first corset dress, and in my latest prêt-à-porter collection I revisited the conical bras and corsets worn as outerwear. This collaboration was a natural and logical step especially since La Perla is the pearl of the lingerie, with a long history and the best savoir faire.” The collection will be available at select LaPerla and Jean Paul Gaultier stores. A couple more images after the flip. More at FashionLvr.

A striking way to spruce up basics the Phillip Lim Bib necklace via net-a-porter. Flawless! More images on the flip.

Enjoy a look at the latest collection by Kali Arulpragasam’s Superfertile, titled “Mankind.” Bold pieces as usual with a very deliberate message described as follows, “If man is the root of all problems, man’s kindness is the solution. We each have the power to lift another up from the gutter, to lend a hand, to offer a platform to stand on, in some cases to pull others to safety. Human kindness empowers us all and the courage that it takes to care is what inspired this collection. ‘Mankind’ is a collection of ornaments featuring fragile sculptural human figures of painted plaster helping, climbing, and lifting each other in constellations across the wearer’s body.” View more of “Mankind” on the next page.

We finally get a closer look of the man behind the lens, Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil blog fame, who was interview by Dazed Digital on the opening of his exhibit “Pic Me Tommy Ton” at Canadian lux retailer, Holt Renfrow (where, irony of ironies, Ton once worked as temporary holiday help). In the interview, Ton talks about his designer obsessions, also his fave subjects, and when asked about who he wants to see in the upcoming New York shows, responds, “Reed Krakoff. And Celine, of course. But more than anything I just love the feeling you get of being at fashion weeks, surrounded by all the freaks. It’s like being at Hogwarts.” Cute!

So damn dope, you couldn’t almost cry (or lay out the cash, which I did). These are from Luxirare’s vintage collection–not sure if she did any reworking. After the flip, a close-up of this set, plus a second set, only a bit smaller.

The Lake & Stars Autumn/Winter 2010-2011 collection is beginning to be shipped to retailers, including those super naughty “Moon Landing” bottomless tie-dyed leggings, which were the hit of the brand’s lookbook we featured in June. You can now pre-order them at Littleflirt, which ships internationally. A bunch more looks pulled from the lookbook after the flip.

Keri Hilson is working a new look around the launch of her latest single, “Breaking Point.” Her real hair is already blonde so it’s not a big, huge change and truth be told with her adorable face there isn’t a color she couldn’t rock that wouldn’t work for her. The make-up works in this case, too, and you have to love the vintage Gucci top and big gold men’s watch. Images via Cocoandcream with one more after the flip, which reminds of Mary J. Blige from her early days when she wore lots of caps with her blonde hair peaking out. There’s also a bonus image of Keri from Kerihilsoncentral, flashing my favorite mani trend of late, white nails offset with black lettering or designs.

While I was in Vegas, my favorite model showed up in multiple September issues, including Vogue, W and Love! Damn, woman, are you piping hot or what? Can’t say I’m overly enamored with any of the shots, though I guess I like the one from Love featured on this page the most. Vogue has her in a feature called “Sweater Girl” (yawnsville), for which the stylist colored in her eyebrows brown so there’s a tad of intrigue in that I suppose. A sample from Vogue and W are the next page. For even more images, check Fashioncopious for Love and Vogue, and then the W site for its own pics of the lovely Ms. Stone.

A collaboration between Cynthia Rowley and Band-Aids, called “Dress-Up Band-Aids” is such a cute concept, it’s hard to believe that it hasn’t been done before! One dollar out of the ten charged for the box will go to Rowley’s pet charity, Design Ignites Change, which encourages students to make social change in their communities via design. We found this at Sliceofstyle and you can buy the actual Band-Aids at Rowley’s site. Perfect for new-shoe blisters, no?
