The holiday season is upon us. We’ve already quizzed some of our favorite fashion personalities—from Bruno Frisoni to Miranda Kerr—on what they’d get for one another, and now we’re turning the focus to our own office. Check in every day to see what Style.com’s editors and contributors are going to gift (and hoping to get) [...]

Couture allows ready-to-wear designers to go for broke with the most fabulous fabrications money can buy. But it’s not restricted to the runway. Last season, Roger Vivier debuted the limited-edition Rendez-Vous collection inspired by the no-holds-barred spirit of couture, creating luxe updates on several of the house’s classic styles. Rendez-Vous returns for Fall 2011 with [...]

The party people were out in force on Friday night in Paris’ Marais to celebrate the latest editions of two—get this—print magazines. The revolving-editor A Magazine chose Giambattista Valli to helm its new issue: his chosen theme, “real beauty,” and his cover, a portrait of River Phoenix by Michael Tighe (above right). Marina Abramovic, Nan [...]

“A star for a star,” Tatiana Sorokko joked of her blinding starburst diamond earrings at Roger Vivier on Madison Avenue last night. “Well, at least for my 15 minutes,” she added. Twenty years in the fashion spotlight is more like it; the former runway favorite was one of the early Russian models, if you could [...]

The first day of Paris fashion week is usually judged too early for a bash, but you’d never know it from the crowd that crammed into Vincent Darré’s tiny interiors shop, Maison Darré, yesterday. There—packed to the rafters, almost, and spilling into the street—were Catherine Deneuve, Diane von Furstenberg, Pierre Bergé, Christian Louboutin, Mario Testino, [...]

The rumor mill’s been churning all morning, and Cate Blanchett didn’t disappoint: As expected, the Robin Hood star wore an Alexander McQueen gown from Pre-Fall 2010 to the premiere of her film (left), which opened the Cannes Film Festival today. (The late designer apparently selected it for her himself.) But Blanchett is stylish onscreen as [...]

The jury’s out on socks with cutout shoes. They’ve become a mainstay of the runways—Prada and Marni both showed them for Fall—and a favorite of the street-style photogs like our own Tommy Ton. Dissenters, on the other hand, say they’re too editorial for everyday wear. (Try the look at the office and be prepared [...]

“I have been very lucky,” said Bruno Frisoni last night while hosting a party at his Rue de Grenelle shop. “For the past ten years I have been lucky, and even tonight I am lucky.” Certainly being in business for a decade is a sign of good fortune, as is a cool Paris evening with [...]

Bruno Frisoni is in town, and there’s only one thing to do when a cobbler of his caliber lands on our side of the pond—throw the man a fabulous cocktail party followed by an intimate private dinner. That’s just what Amanda Brooks did last night, greeting shoe lovers like Dr. Lisa Airan and J.Crew’s Jenna [...]

“Sexy and strappy.” That’s about all Richard Chai is willing to divulge about the shoes he’s showing with his Fall ‘09 womenswear collection today. Designed by Chai with Bruno Frisoni, the sexy, strappy heels mark Frisoni’s first true collaborative shoe design effort—and Chai says he counts himself lucky. “I feel very privileged to have worked [...]
