The Fashion Bomb News Breakdown: Olivier Rousteing Talks Balmain For H&M, Idris Elba Teams Up On Fashion Collaboration, and Michael Bastian To Debut Womenswear

Tom+Ford+2015+CFDA+Fashion+Awards+Show+qVaXeyaiwHLx

  • Though he seems to always cut a pretty dapper figure in a suit, Tom Ford apparently hasn’t worked out in years. He revealed this and more in a recent interview. Amongst his other statements was one condemning Dolce & Gabbana for their views on in vitro fertilization. The designer said: “I found [Dolce’s comments] incredibly ignorant — and you can say that — and insensitive. I was quite shocked, I have to say. They haven’t retracted it all, they defended it.” (Four Pins)
peter copping oscar de la renta bridal gown

  • A large part of the Oscar de la Renta business is in the bridal sector; the founding designer really knew how to make women not only look but feel their most beautiful on their special days.  And now, with a new designer at the helm in Peter Copping, some of the industry has been wondering whether he possessed the same skill.  If his first bridal creation is any indication, he most certainly does! (Vogue)

Despite the volatile weather we’ve been experiencing the past few weeks, the dog days will be over soon, and we’ll all be ready to put the final touches on big summer plans. Though the notion of incorporating bursts of color into any summer wardrobe has been a long-standing one, applying that knowledge by injecting modern twists on accessories can definitely uplift any outfit.

Les Petits Joueurs Toucan clutch 4

Les Petits Joueurs offers a bevy of handbags, but its Toucan clutch is definitely the go to for toting all of your mini summer essentials, regardless if you’re staying in a busy city, or traveling somewhere comparable to paradise.

 

The black acrylic clutch features a framed closure and concealable chain strap.  The tropical bird with its unmistakable, multicolored beak is emblazoned on the front.  In shades of yellow, blue, and red, the desire to play on such vibrant hues should be an overwhelming one.
