Saint-Tropez Fever Rages On; American—Make That Milanese—Gigolo; And More…
Is Karl campaigning for mayor of Saint-Tropez? Following Chanel’s Resort show there last month, the label has now opened a temporary store on site, too. Louis Vuitton, not to be outdone, has opened a new, larger store on the Riviera, too. [WWD]
Bergdorf held its first “virtual” trunk show this week, with W’s Alex White and BG fashion director Linda Fargo chatting with Akris’ Albert Kriemler via Skype. “OMG” seems the only rational response. [WSJ]
The New York Timesinvestigates Milan menswear’s preoccupation with the gigolo. Rent boys, big in ‘11? (And because we need no better excuse, here’s the original—Gere in American Gigolo—left.) [NYT]
Tommy Hilfiger, the newly appointed world leader of the nonprofit Millennium Promise, will address 1,000 chief officers at the U.N. tomorrow to discuss initiatives to end world hunger. [WWD]
And Refinery29 offers a peek at the Fall ‘10 range from accessory designer and newly minted CFDA award winner Alexis Bittar. What to expect: geometric designs, gunmetal grays, and antlers. Price on request for that antler piece, which presumably doesn’t include the cost of any sweaters it may snag and ruin. [R29]
