Some people, simply by virtue of who their parents are, are born cool. Charlotte Gainsbourg, daughter of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, obviously qualifies. Born in London and raised in Paris, she’s the product of one of pop culture’s most influential couples. The duo left their fingerprints on all manner of artistic ventures, whether it […]

With TIFF 2014 happening in approximately six weeks (!), we’ve been itching to find out which A-list stars will be making their way into Toronto beginning September 4th. Last year’s film festival hit all the high notes with Hollywood’s very best walking the streets of T.O, but judging by the looks of this list, we bet TIFF 2014 is going to be bigger and better than ever.

Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 Ad-Campaign

Where Nicolas Ghesquiére goes, the rest follow. In the first campaign since assuming the role of creative director at Louis Vuitton, the designer has brought a group of fashion heavyweights to the label’s Fall 2014 advertising images, including Annie Leibowitz, Bruce Weber and Juergen Teller, to help him mold the label in his effortlessly French image. The photos, entitled “Series 1,” are the result of each photographer’s concept, showcasing Vuitton’s all new cool girl wares on the likes of Freja Beha Erichsen, Liya Kebede and Jean Campbell. At the centre of it all is Ghesquiére’s duo of influencers: Charlotte Gainsbourg and stylist Marie-Amelie Sauve, who previously helped him shape so much of Balenciaga’s aesthetic.

Did you ever think you’d see style icons Charlotte Gainsbourg and Drew Barrymore working together? Well, today’s the day.

Gainsbourg and Barrymore have come together for a good cause, participating in Tommy Hilfiger’s sixth annual campaign to support Breast Health International. Gainsbourg, the face of the campaign, modeled the limited edition purse, which was designed by Hilfiger. Barrymore took on the role of photographer, snapping the dreamy shot of Charlotte dozing off, bag in hand.

The classic navy and red leather tote bag (so Tommy) is being sold internationally in Tommy Hilfiger stores and will retail for $298, with $100 from each bag going to Breast Health International‘s Fund for Living—an initiative that helps women with breast cancer fund their treatments and costs that may not be covered by health care.

Looks like we’ve hit the motherlode! Spotted outside Balenciaga yesterday were both of the house’s fragrance faces: Kristen Stewart and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Amidst the mass of celebrities, we also spotted Prada’s spring flames and retro car prints pretty much, well, everywhere. Glad to know that everyone loves the collection as much as we do!

Ever wonder what a vampire (lover) smells like? Or an awkward 21 year old? Well, Balenciaga has announced today, that our favourite lover of a bloodsucker, Kristen Stewart, is the face of their new fragrance.

K-Stew’s claim to fame is, of course, the Twilight series, and we’re sure devoted twi-hards will be running to get a bit of Bella Swan come the perfume’s release—but the creative director of Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquière, does not mention her appearance in the famed film in his statement explaining his choice. Instead, he talks about her lesser-known roles in Panic Room and Welcome to the Rileys. We’re with him so far…

The ingénue dishes to WWD: “The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.” Cool? Maybe. Muse-worthy? Not so sure.

What do we know about the “cool” fragrance? Not much, just that the name is yet to be announced. The scent is expected to launch this fall, just in time for the final installment of Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 2. What a coincidence.

Word: Paradisco

Meaning: A supranatural dance club? Music for the specially-abled? Nobody knows…

Usage: “In paradiscos, we get bored of breaking actors/Turning beggars and the heroes.” — Charlotte Gainsbourg, in “Paradisco”

Balenciaga’s SS 2012 show is all over Twitter and fashion news sites this morning, but not for the reasons you would expect. The headlines were enough to make any fashion editor cringe with sympathy: “Broken Benches Send Editors and Buyers Crashing to the Floor at Balenciaga Show” and “Balenciagea Attendees Forced to Stand Throughout the Show Because of Faulty Benches”. No one was hurt, thank God, but standing during a runway show? How terribly gauche!

Thanks to live Tweeting, we get to experience the event almost as if we were there. Runway show veterans the Traina sisters were the first to hear the bench creaking, and jumped up seconds before it came crashing to the floor. (Kate Lanphear and Eric Wilson weren’t so lucky!) But despite the surprise of a standing-room-only presentation (and difficulty for the shorter members of the audience), the show did go on. Everyone present, including the likes of Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Salma Hayek, and François-Henri Pinault, stood like champs, and watched the show as though the models were brides heading down the aisle. We can’t even imagine how horrible it would have been had Anna Wintour been one to fall on the floor.
