Beyond the foamy curtain of the Côte d’Azur lays the scene of cinema’s annual cult gathering—Cannes, a festival like no other. It is an event that has captivated audiences for the past 67 years with its unique and intoxicating brand of Mediterranean glamour.

Besotted by champagne soaked parties, historic hotels, and delectable French fare, it is a veritable paradise of indulgences for the beautiful, rich, and famous (which is at least what reading Assouline books on the topic will lead you to believe). The level of exclusivity on the Cannes red carpet guarantees that only a negligible percentage of the population will ever be granted access beyond its velvet ropes, which of course only adds to its prestigious reputation.

I was trying to find a mystical quotation about endings or journeys coming to an close, but damn if Rumi didn’t talk a lot about love! Which means that it’s up to me to provide some eloquent gloss on last night’s events—the night where Project Runway All Stars came to its complicated, emotional conclusion. To you I say: This is not a day to feel bereft, or lost or unduly abandoned—this is a beginning for us all! And when the winner is announced, and he receives his (BOW NOW NA NA NA NOW!) $100,000 cheque and embroidery studio and whatnot, we too will all be set free—granted, without an HP Digital Suite courtesy of L’Oréal Paris—and yet, free to pursue our own long-sought dreams, like The Hunger Games, or a hot dog.

And in a shocking template modification, I will not award/unaward measly points for things that miffed and/or pleased me based on my own impossible metric. Instead I will strive to provide the most charitable and non-petty remarks on this utterly momentous event—the first ever finale of the first ever season of Project Runway All Stars!

How we feel about things »

In the New Testament world of Project Runway All Stars, losers from seasons past are being judged anew. Eleven of the contestants will be deemed unworthy for a second time*, and one will claw his or her way to redemption—and a brand new technology suite from HP! Is it worth it? I can’t tell. Now, into the tense and cosseted world of Project Runway All Stars!

*Technically, Anthony has already lost twice, bless his heart.

Its official… Style.com is going under. April Fool’s (sorry, we had to) and quite the opposite really! Condé Nast is coming out with a new print magazine associated with the site, beginning in October of this year and will discuss the latest season’s trends. [Fashionista]

In today’s John Galliano chronicles? Isaac Mizrahi becomes one of the few designers to outright condemn him, [The Cut] meanwhile Holts and The Bay aren’t the only major retailers who have  stopped promoting or even pulled Galliano⎯Saks Fifth Avenue has as well. [Styleite]

Andre Leon Talley, Marc Jacobs, Isaac Mizrahi and the inimitable Anna Wintour make an appearance on P. Diddy‘s latest album Last Train to Paris. [The Cut]

Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler will sell 45 per cent of their label to Andrew Rosen, chairman of Kaplan Inc. [Vogue UK]

British designer Roland Mouret doesn’t see a diffusion line in his future: “I would never do a diffusion line. I don’t think the future is that. People mix brands all the time already, so you need to do something else. We are living in a different fashion world now,” he said. [Style File]

Today’s Karl Lagerfeld-edited edition of French newspaper Libération is pretty much all about Karl. And sexy drawings of soccer players. [Fashionista]

And about those illustrations: “I use Shu Uemura makeup for drawing, as they have the most beautiful color palette. Did you know that in the old days, children’s books were illustrated using makeup sticks?”  [WWD]

Attention, 90210 fans: If you always wanted the bow dress that Kelly–and Brenda!–wore in the “Spring Dance,” episode you’ll find it in Isaac Mizrahi‘s resort collection [Yahoo!]

Forget West Side Story.  According to Isaac Mizrahi’s Fall 2010 collection it’s all about the Central Park Story.  This magical tale (think Avedon meets Avatar) comes to life on the runway with model’s clad in cashmere fleece dresses, colourful Muppets-style fur coats, strapless wool dresses with toggle accents, sequin bombers, brocade skirts and fluffy chiffon gowns with twinkling embellishment.  Very winter fairy.
