If you’re going to take your life in your hands, might as well do it in evening dress. That’s what David Blaine did when he swam—sans oxygen tank or cage—with a group of great white sharks in an Adam Kimmel tux for the designer’s new video (above). Kimmel and wife Leelee Sobieski screened the short [...]

Like his Spring ‘11 Theory collection? Good news for you: Today, Olivier Theyskens was named artistic director for all of Theory. The line starts now.

If a Calvin Klein ad isn’t banned, does anybody see it? That age-old marketing adage was trotted out in Australia, where Lara Stone’s newest jeans ad for the label has been deemed uncouth by the Advertising Standards Bureau.

The unstoppable Lara Stone has made her latest conquest: Calvin Klein. WWD reports that the gap-toothed Dutch beauty is fronting three of the label’s brands—Collection, cK Calvin Klein, and Calvin Klein Jeans—for Fall 2010. Not only that, Klein properties are the only place you’ll see Lara this Fall; she’s a runway and advertising exclusive for [...]

As predicted, Lara Stone tied the knot this weekend in London, to beau David Walliams. (Will they share outfits? Walliams famously played a fairly unconvincing transvestite on Little Britain.) If Walliams’ Emily “I am a lady!” Howard is looking to borrow, there are worse places to start than Lara’s wedding dresses. Riccardo Tisci custom-made both [...]

French actress Elisa Sednaoui has recently been given the Lagerfeld seal of approval—he cast her in his Resort film Remember Now—so you can bet she’s got style in spades.
