Michelle Watch: It’s A Tie (Neck) With Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for—the meeting of the two First Ladies who’ve had us glued to their every stitch.

Nina Ricci Makes It Official, Sofia Coppola Keeps It PG, And More

The long-expected Olivier Theyskens and Nina Ricci breakup was formalized last week, five days after Theyskens’ inspired show. We can officially mourn. [WWD]

Blasblog From Paris: PETA Update

Yesterday we reported on PETA’s revamped protesting efforts, and later that day we learned the zealous, anti-fur crusaders crossed what many may consider a different kind of moral line when the ripped off the sleeve of Carine Roitfeld’s Balenciaga gown outside Jean Paul Gaultier (her lilac, goat fur coat was the intended target, presumably).
