Twin Peaking Our Interest: An Overnight Chez David Lynch, And More Of The Day’s Top Stories
David Lynch has recently shifted his focus from unsettling films and television to unsettling interiors. His members-only Club Silencio in Paris has become a gold-flecked destination among the fashion set, and he’s now lent his talents to a “David Lynch Signature Suite” at Paris’ Hotel Lutetia (pictured). Lynch describes the room, decorated with his own watercolor paintings, as “eerily normal.” Naturally. [Art Info]
Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood is no stranger to the film industry, having worked on the getups for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and Dark Shadows, as well as Robert Marshall’s Memoirs of a Geisha, to name a few. Right now, however, it’s the costumes from her latest project, Snow White and the Huntsman (in theaters Friday), that has everyone buzzing. Through June 3, you can get an in-person look at them at a pop-up gallery in Hollywood. [WWD]
Gucci is the latest fashion brand to go green. The Italian label has launched a line of environmentally friendly shoes, designed by Frida Giannini for Sustainable Soles. The capsule collection consists of two styles (one for women and one for men), both made with biodegradable plastic. The shoes, some of which bear the brand’s signature GG motif, will hit flagships and Gucci.com at the end of June. [WWD]
Google pays tribute to a famed jeweler today with its ever-changing logo: its egg-esconced GOOGLE celebrates the birthday of Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920), who created gem-encrusted eggs for the Russian court. Fabergé himself has long since passed away, but his name is familiar again to fashion readers: His revived namesake company opened its first U.S. store this month. [Google]
Johnny Depp’s Big Head Causes Drama On Set, Plus More Of The Day’s Top News
Tim Burton’s remake of Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp (pictured), hit theaters this past weekend. There has been plenty of buzz surrounding three-time Academy Award-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood’s clothes for the film, but the L.A. Times recently learned the hardest part about putting the wardrobe together—finding the right pair of vintage sunglasses (a key wardrobe piece) for Depp, because apparently, heads back in 1972 were a bit smaller.

Bergdorf Goodman is showing its age—proudly. The store will kick off its 111th birthday festivities on Fashion’s Night Out (September 6), and continue the celebrations with a book, documentary film, and special collection of products from labels including Christian Louboutin, Alexander McQueen, Oscar de la Renta, and more.

Valentino Garavani, on the other hand, rang in his birthday over the weekend at a surprise party, complete with a (false) fire alarm, thrown in his honor by Giancarlo Giammetti; Anne Hathaway, Nacho Figueras, and Countess Georgina Brandolini d’Adda were all there to celebrate. [Page Six]
While the Costume Institute’s Schiaparelli/Prada exhibition is going strong here in New York, London is getting ready for a fashion display of its own.

Caught In The Crosshairs Of International Espionage? You’re Gonna Need A Good
Pair Of Shoes
Though it’s easy to forget sometimes, when she’s not doing good works or shepherding her brood around the world, Angelina Jolie occasionally still makes movies. Her latest, The Tourist, opens today. Angie portrays a shady femme fatale bent on evading a group of international assassins (and siccing them on an unsuspecting Johnny Depp). But she never looks less than chic doing so, thanks to the ministrations of Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha), who gave her a closetful of tasteful garb and, thanks to a collaboration with Salvatore Ferragamo, a killer pump. The Elise style, customized for the film with a gold-tipped stiletto heel—reportedly Jolie’s favorite from the filming—is now available at Ferragamo’s New York flagship and select stores nationwide, in black leather and our favorite, blush suede ($750).
