Couture diary: Life is a zip at Van Cleef & Arpels
With so many press and wealthy clients in Paris for the haute couture shows, many of the luxury jewelers in the Place Vendome are using the occasion to launch new collections. So off I went to Van Cleef & Arpels to see their new Zips. It was the Duchess of Windsor (the sometimes scandalous, always stylish legendary Wallis Simpson) who first suggested in 1938 that the house craft a zipper necklace in precious materials, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that technology caught up with the duchess’s imagination. By then, Wallis was over it. And though her character is seen wearing a Zip in The King’s Speech, the real duchess never did.

Couture diary: Karl dazzles at Chanel + a guilt-free dessert!
It’s the morning of the Chanel couture show and the Hotel Castille is jammed with Chanel press attachés from around the globe. Breakfast arrives late, and I gulp down tea and scrambled eggs before dashing off to the Chanel Fine Jewellery boutique in the Place Vendome.

Celeb poll: Lady Gaga pulls a Daphne Guinness. Do you like her look?
Lady Gaga exited a building today in Paris, where she is set to give two concerts. Gaga wearing clothes is always an event, but–and maybe it’s just the beehive–isn’t she kind of horning in on Daphne Guinness’s steeze? Do you agree? Vote after the jump.

There was the head-to-toe fur at Louis Vuitton’s men’s show, a furry LV muff at the Dior Homme show that inspired many a “muff diving” reference, and […]

Parting kisses: Favourite things from Paris
Show: Alexander McQueen—and I wasn’t even present. Too sick that night to crawl from bed, I—and thousands upon thousands of other obsessives—watched McQ’s first live-to-air catwalk on ShowStudio.com. Even from afar, I was spun in, so totally entranced by his entire underworld of alien warrior princesses. (And those shoes! The most wondrously physics-defying footwear since Theyskens’ heelless hooves for Nina Ricci. Which was just last season…but still.) Magnificent in scope, meticulous in execution, it was a show to write home about. Unless you were already there.
