Gwyneth Paltrow: Time for Tees

Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest in a long line of celebrities lending their name to a clothing range in order to help coax recession-hit shoppers on to the high street. The actress is set to collaborate with French premium jersey maker ZOEtee's to create a capsule collection of seven pieces.

"Gwyneth's style fits perfectly with the brand," Laure Pariente, creative director of ZOEtee's revealed. "She knows how to mix basics and give jersey a stylish edge."

ZOEtee's Loves Gwyneth Paltrow will be released for autumn/winter 2009-10 and all proceeds will be donated to Kids Company, the charity Paltrow chose. The range, which will reference Gwyneth's own style and will feature T-shirts, dresses and leggings, is rumoured to be followed by another collection for spring 2010.

Paltrow joins a list of celebrity contributors which seemingly gets longer by the day. This season she lines up alongside celebrity models, like Alexa Chung who struts her stuff for New Look, and celebrity designers, like Kate Moss who does her thing for the ninth time for Topshop.

Also lending their name to spring fashion on the high street are some design heavyweights tempting the consumer at a more affordable rate; Barbara Hulanicki for Topshop and Matthew Williamson for H&M, as well as new graduates giving us a first taste of their wares at Oasis.

Russian Fashion Week: Patriarch Of Russian Fashion

The rich, spectacular, and romantic Slava Zaitsev’s haute-couture collection has been inspired by the Sergey Dyagilev Seasons in Paris.

It’s dedicated to the 100-year anniversary of the renowned Ballets Russes company that was a success in Paris in the beginning of the 20th century.

“The collection is very powerful and breathtakingly beautiful. Each item is an object of art,” says Zaitsev. “It’s for those who value beauty in fashion. However, it doesn’t mean that I create clothes that are hard to wear. Despite their artistic value, my creations are functional and comfortable. I’m not a fan of abstract style in clothing. It’s boring. Besides, I have to sell my collections to customers."

Zaitsev says he has always been a strong admirer of aesthetism. “I think even if you put on a white shirt with a black skirt, black shoes, black stockings, and a black hat you’ll look beautiful.”

Despite international success, Zaitsev has always preferred to keep close to his roots, urging Russian designers not to be influenced by the West. Russian folklore tradition has always been an inspiration for him.

Zaitsev says, he has never been a slave to fashion. “The French media once said about Yves Saint Laurent, that he 'walks down the opposite side of the street called Fashion.' The same applies to me. Fashion rules don’t exist for me."

In Soviet times, Zaitsev was the first designer who was allowed to put a label in his clothing. “I’ve been in the fashion business for 46 years. I’ve lived through the '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. I’m not interested in re-creating something that’s already been created by somebody. I just try to entice people into the whirlpool of passions, joy, and beauty that exist in my world of fashion”.

Zaitsev’s long-time clients are show-biz celebrities, high-ranking officials, and politicians. The indefatigable fashion designer manages 500 people who work at his own fashion house in the center of Moscow.

All About Shoes

The name may have an Anglo-Saxon ring, but the luxury shoemaking company J. M. Weston is most definitely French. Founded in Limoges in 1891 by Edouard Blanchard, the company chose the Weston name after Weston, Massachusetts, where Edouard's son Eugène Blanchard traveled in 1904 to study Goodyear stitching techniques and shoemaking in different widths. Known for their exquisite craftsmanship, Weston shoes come in 3 to 7 widths per half size, all with soft calfskin linings. Since 2001, designer Michel Perry has put a new spin on the classic shoes, creating contemporary lines and regularly updating the collection-his latest: Les Souples. The price tag is hefty-basic models start at $600 and others can climb up to more than $2,000 for crocodile-but there's a reason: it takes eight weeks and 150 to 190 different steps for master craftsmen, who've been trained for decades, to fashion a Weston shoe from unmarked, untreated leather. But it's said they can last for life.


You don't have to be a famous dancer to wear Repettos, although Repetto ballet shoes have graced the dancing feet of stars including Béjart, Nureyev and Carolyn Carlson. The family saga began on Paris's Rue de la Paix in 1947, when Rose Repetto first created dance shoes for her son, dancer and choreographer Roland Petit, and then branched out to making a full range of dance attire. In 1956 young dancer Brigitte Bardot asked Rose to design street shoes as light and pleasant as dance footwear-but sexier. Rose did, and the French actress immortalized her Repetto scarlet "Cinderella" ballerina flats in the movie that made her famous, Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman. The legendary brand is now available to all-500,000 pairs were manufactured in 2006. Repetto fans include Kate Moss, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Catherine Deneuve, Céline Dion and Hillary Clinton-as well as the many anonymous shoppers who flock to the Paris boutique where everything started. On its 60th anniversary this year, Repetto set up a Danse pour la Vie foundation in partnership with UNESCO to support projects using dance as an educational tool. One of its missions is to equip children in dance schools it selects around the world with ballet slippers, pointe shoes, tutus and tights-to help make their dancing dreams come true.

Fashion News: Spring Shopping in Paris

In 2001, the collaboration between Louis Vuitton's creative director Marc Jacobs and American fashion designer and artist Stephen Sprouse resulted in handbags covered with brightly-colored graffiti-like scrawl reading Louis Vuitton Paris instead of the famous LV monogram. Initially the bags were intended only for display, but they provoked such an explosion of fashion lust that they became instant It Bags that every fashion follower and celebrity on the planet absolutely had to have. Sprouse died in 2004, but über-designer Jacobs has now created a limited-edition capsule collection for Vuitton based on Sprouse's original designs. Leggings, trainers, scarves, bags and bracelets are daubed with graffiti logos and swirling rose motifs in this season's flashiest colors, including electric pink.

Meanwhile, another French luggage and leather goods specialist, Longchamp, has adopted a surrealist stance with a delightfully cheeky nod to Belgian artist René Magritte, who famously wrote Ceci n'est pas une pipe on his drawing of a pipe. The French brand's spring/summer 2009 collection includes a minimalist canvas shopping tote emblazoned with a drawing of a handbag and the ironic little twist Ceci est un IT BAG.

Will It Bags soon give way to the It Shoe? A change in fashion leather seems afoot. After designing an effigy of himself as a sunglass-wearing teddy bear for Steiff, Karl Lagerfeld has embarked upon another unexpected collaboration, creating a limited edition of summer sandals for Repetto, the French dancewear company, founded in 1947 by the mother of choreographer Roland Petit, that has now branched out into ready-to-wear. Lagerfeld's new patent leather sandals-in the form of towering 4-inch platform heels or more comfortable flats-come complete with detachable leather "tutus" around the ankle. They'll be available starting April 9, and are expected to pirouette right off the shelves.

At the same time, French shoe designer Michel Perry has come up with a novel way of celebrating Barack Obama's arrival in the White House. Putting his own inimitable spin on the Stars and Stripes, Perry has designed a pair of eye-catching sandals, named Vegas, which rework the American flag as foot art.

For luxury shopping with a clear conscience, Dalia and Rose, a multi-brand concept store, is set to open in Paris at the end of March. The boutique, which showcases the latest upscale trends in ethical fashion, lifestyle and design, is the brainchild of Clélia Moretton, a former model now on a mission to promote organic materials and 100% hand-crafted products. With her sharp eye for fashion, Clélia has tracked down a brilliant selection of up-and-coming labels including Camilla Norback, a Swedish designer working with organic silk, organza and cotton; Pachacuti, which claims to sell the world's first fair-trade panama hats; and ethical jewelry by Nikki Butler, a South African designer whose intricate beaded creations, under the label Nikki b, have already been snapped up by the likes of Cameron Diaz and Britney Spears. Dalia and Rose also stock French Touch shoes-adorable ballerina flats that have been ethically sourced-and luxurious alpaca accessories hand-made by fair-trade co-operatives in Bolivia.

Japanese Fashion Designer Kenzo Art Auctions

Paris, France - Vowing to change his life, Japanese fashion designer Kenzo is auctioning off a treasure trove of Asian art, furniture and antique kimonos that adorn his luxury Paris home.

Kenzo, whose full name is Kenzo Takada, has already sold the Japanese-style villa in eastern Paris, complete with paper screens, a swimming pool, and a traditional garden featuring an ornamental pond with carp.

Last month, the sale of late designer Yves Saint Laurent's collection broke several records and Sotheby's has also auctioned the late Gianni Versace's collection, but Kenzo said he was focusing on life before death.

"Today I want to turn a page and live differently, more free, lighter," the 70-year-old told reporters at the villa, surrounded by trees and stones imported from Japan.

The collection is expected to fetch between 1.5 million euros to 2 million euros ($2.04 million to $2.73 million) at auction, scheduled for June 16 and 17.

Together with the Yves Saint Laurent and Gianni Versace events, Kenzo's decision to sell up marks the end of an era for the star couturiers -- as illustrated by a photo on his desk that shows the Japanese designer, tanned and smiling, next to Saint Laurent at the height of their careers.

Highlights of the auction are a Chinese wooden horse dating from the Han era, around 100 AD, estimated at 100,000 euros, and two Chinese wooden funeral figurines dating from 500-300 BC, which are valued at 30,000 to 60,000 euros ($40,000-$80,000) each.

A diplomatic tussle broke out between China and France over two historic Chinese bronze sculptures looted in the 19th century and sold as part of the Yves Saint Laurent collection.

A Chinese buyer snapped up the pieces, but then refused to pay for them.

Kenzo's sale is less likely to attract controversy. He had the 1,100 square-meter villa built 20 years ago, as his empire of colorful, printed clothes and perfumes expanded along with his taste for lavish parties.

Luxury conglomerate LVMH bought the Kenzo brand in 1993.

Having sold the villa to French buyers, Kenzo is planning to move into his new apartment overlooking the Seine -- still generous at 250 square meters.

"At the end of the 1980s. I wanted a Japanese house with a garden in the middle of Paris. My dream came true," he said as he showed reporters his old home.

An Asian art expert looking at a small Korean table and a bronze sculpture of a rat munching a chestnut, described the collection as an "accumulation of beautiful little things."

All About Fashionalism

Paris, France - YOU could call it fashionalism.

At a Vivienne Westwood show, buyer Amanda Ware lists new trends she has spotted in London: quirky hats, trendy scarves - and British-made designer accessories featuring the Union Jack. Several fashion buyers visiting this month's Paris shows reported a jump in nationalist purchases, especially in London, which before the economic crisis prided itself on being the capital of multicultural style.

'I think it's this whole Britishness thing,' said Ms Ware, who buys accessories for luxury store Fortnum & Mason in London. In the boom years, the French and Italian brands she stocks were more popular than British ones, she said. That has changed.

Ms Ware has adjusted her purchases accordingly, buying visibly British accessories such as a Paul Smith scarf with a London city print, which she expects to do well despite the general retail slump.

'There's been a lot of support for both Vivienne Westwood and Paul Smith, it's been the strongest this season,' she said.

'Vivienne Westwood is more tartan, Paul Smith is strong with the Union Jack. It's really flown over the past 8-12 weeks.'

From workers protesting against foreigners taking jobs to governments bailing out failing local industries, fashion executives point to a global wave of nationalist protests and policies since the world economy turned sharply down.

The World Bank said in a report this month that since last November, 17 of the G20 nations had implemented measures whose effect is to restrict trade at the expense of other countries.

'The trend in protection is up and the full effects (of) recession have not yet been felt,' said the report by Elisa Gamberoni and Richard Newfarmer.

The patriotic shopping spree suggests such nationalism is seeping into the middle classes, steering those who can afford designer accessories costing several hundred pounds.

Paris Fashion Week: 2009 Best Fall Look (YSL &Comme des Garcons)

Yves Saint Laurent

Power dressing with Parisian flair was on display on the Yves Saint Laurent runway. Stefano Pilati did the season’s tough-chic vibe best, with pieces that are truly timeless instead of costumey 1980s throwbacks. A glossy black biker jacket with a subtle studded collar, white poplin shirts with volume through the sleeves, a high-waist pinstripe pencil skirt with a cummerbund belt, an elongated pinstripe jacket to wear with anything — even on its own. This collection was about real clothes for real women who go to the office, the grocery store and a dinner party, all in one day. Pilati even had the sense in these recessionary times to dispense with the tedious red carpet gown finale and instead show a version of Le Smoking, a black velvet tuxedo dress with a plunging collar.









Comme des Garcons

The quiet show, a poetic fusion of masculine and feminine, was a reminder that the avant-garde is alive and well. Models’ faces were wrapped in pieces of tulle with a glittery red lip print off to one side, like a parting kiss. The collection began with the idea of a simple Army jacket, shown deconstructed, spliced together with panels of soft plaid or check blankets, then marked with white trompe l’oeil line drawings of pockets, hinting at a missing person or an alter ego. The looks flowed seamlessly, jackets and cozy blanket leggings into romantic skirts and finally, sheer peach double layer dresses with pearls and bits of tulle trapped inside like fading memories.
