Yet Another Carine Project: Cannes Fashion Show at amfAR Ball

The LBD is sweeping Cannes this year, courtesy of Carine Roitfeld & co. This year's big amfAR bash at Hotel du Cap on May 24 during the film fest will feature a spate of 20 noir frocks designed by the likes of Dior, Givenchy, Christopher Kane, Chanel, Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Roberto Cavalli, Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton and Versace. Après-show, one lucky bidder will score the entire lot of looks.

Carine Takes Cannes

The amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala is always a hot ticket at the Cannes Film Festival (kicking off today), but leave it to Carine Roitfeld to make it even more extravagant. For the first time ever, the fundraiser at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc in Cap d’Antibes will include a full-on runway show, orchestrated by Roitfeld. On display: black, black, and more black. The show will reportedly feature her idea of the perfect black wardrobe, complete with looks from Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Dior, Christopher Kane, and Givenchy.

Foreign Exchange: Alexander Wang Brings New York To Beijing

“It’s about energy, doing something different—bringing a bit of New York to Beijing,” Alexander Wang shouted over the din at a party celebrating his new flagship in Beijing on Friday night. For Wang, “different” meant going underground, literally: The bash took place in the subterranean parking garage beneath his store. (The invitations? Battery-powered traffic wands.)

Le Shocking Story

If your interest begins and ends at the red carpet, the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala doesn't change all that much from year to year. As the CFDA's Steven Kolb put it last night: "Sometimes you walk in straight, sometimes you come in from the left, sometimes you come in from the right."

Is Color-Blocking Played Out?

After several seasons of stacking contrasting hues one atop another, designers are simplfying things for Fall with monochromatic looks in a Crayola box assortment of shades. Working with a uniform palette plays up subtle differences in texture and fabric. Alexander Wang, for example, hit on this season’s must-have color with a head-to-toe burgundy outfit that mixed slick quilted patent with distressed leather and nappy suede, while Olivier Rousteing and Peter Dundas brought velvet and fur into the picture, respectively, at Balmain and Emilio Pucci.
