I find the recent publicity moves made by Barney’s new regime to be quite interesting. The choice of Daphne Guinnesslive window dressing for the Met Gala, for example we definitely see as an attempt to add an avant garde edge to the well-loved New York department store. Can’t wait to see what the next moves will be…

Hot off  the presses via wwd, our beloved Carine Roitfeld is teaming up with Barneys, one of our all time favorite stores on various projects:

Barneys New York has tapped Roitfeld for a multifaceted initiative that has the former French Vogue editor in chief serving as guest editor and stylist — as well as muse and inspiration — for fall, collaborating with photographer Mario Sorrenti and Barneys creative director Dennis Freedman.

Roitfeld will not only style and edit Barneys’ Sorrenti-shot advertising campaign, catalogue and fall mailers; she will put her stylist’s touch on the store’s famous Madison Avenue windows, which will be unveiled in September. Lots more on the next page.

It’s very exciting,” Roitfeld told WWD in an exclusive interview from Paris. “It’s a new kind of project for me. It’s good to have a new life, because now I can do projects that I never dreamed of before.”

I have been on the Louboutin badwagon for a while,this fun zip up sandal,the Zipette  has been knocked off to the core….However as a true fsahion lover I have to say that there is nothing like the the real deal…It’s sleek enough to rock with a summer dress and high enough to give you height with your super long Wide leg pants…
