Christian Louboutin Fetes 20 years in Fashion

 Christian Louboutin joined up with Barneys to fete the launch of his eponymous book — as well as the 20th anniversary of his brand — in New York.

The designer's longtime friends showed up in support. As did more than a few fans — sporting their Louboutin heels, of course. "I'm wearing my very first pair from 1997," Amanda Brooks told Style.com of her strappy red sandals. "He gave them to me as a thank you because I used to work at the Gagosian Gallery, across from the Carlyle, and he would call me on my lunch break to come over and model the shoes for him."

Blake Lively, who made headlines a year ago for carting 40 pairs of Louboutins away from the designer's sample sale, also stopped by: "My first pair was basic black, and after that, it was love — now I have hundreds." Clearly the feeling is mutual — Louboutin whisked her off her feet and carried her away after the event.

PRADA '12 jewelry

Prada’s Resort Campaign Stars Léa Seydoux Draped in Rose Jewelry and Fuzzy Bear Charms.

Prada announced just yesterday that they're launching a capsule jewelry collection next month, which turns out to be heavily featured in the resort 2012 ad campaign, released this morning. Steven Meisel shot French actress Léa Seydoux draped in sparkly jewels and resin rosebuds, and clutching various Prada accessories. Of course, should giant flower necklaces strike you as too mundane, she also poses with a long chain of sunglasses-wearing, guitar-playing Prada teddy-bear charms.

LOUIS VUITTON NEW DISPLAY

 I was seriously excited to find these, dare I say kinky, maids- windows. Miniature maid figures stand by loyally next to a LV classic bag, and life-size mannequin stands still holding a feather duster. These windows are visually fascinating, and are guaranteed to create a desire to buy!
