Little Black Jacket

One of the fantastic parts of being in New York is that some really phenomenal things, people and in this case a stunning photography exhibit come through town.  Karl Lagerfeld {designer, curator, photographer - among other things} assembled this collection of photos with former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld.  Together, with the help of 109 models, socialites, celebrities and friends of the brand they brought to life a true classic with The Little Black Jacket.

 Carine Roitfeld

 Kanye West, Dakota Fanning, Daphne Groeneveld etc.

 Natalia Vodianova etc.

 Charlotte Gainsbourg

The sisters.

Kirsten Dunst, Vanessa Paradis, Elizabeth Olsen & Elle Fanning

I'll be honest, sometimes I feel like Karl stretches himself too thin and what he puts his name on isn't always indicative of his talent or his brand [hello Karl Lagerfeld for Macy's...}, this collection of photographs is not one of those projects.  It represents the absolute core of what Chanel as a brand is all about, and expresses Coco's vision that Karl continues to re-imagine every season.  If you're in New York, you only have three nights left to go check out this {totally free!} exhibit.  

White House, Red Carpet

I basically went forward with this post simply because I couldn't not use the title.  Anyways, let's get political, or not...  This is the time of year that celebs and reporters descend on the White House for the annual White House Correspondents dinner, below are my candidates for best dressed!

Dakota Fanning in Prada

Ginnifer Goodwin is wearing H&M Conscious Collection

Zooey Deschanel in Oscar de la Renta

Kerry Washington in Calvin Klein Collection - so gorgeous on her!

And Leslie Mann took a risk in a floral Naeem Kahn gown.

As usual there were some real flops {Kim K wore velvet, and Alicia Keys looked WAY too casual} , but these ladies turned it out.  

Sister, Sister

This month two sets of sisters are on the covers of Vogue & W Magazine respecitvely.  Mary Kate & Ashley cover a special issue of Vogue's Best Dressed, and the Fanning sisters grace the pages December's W Mag.  All of the photos are insanely gorgeous...and I think there needs to be a power sister shoot at some point featuring all four, take a look!

This is MK & A's first Vogue cover...sort of unbelievable, I hope it's the first of many.

Pretty gorgeous...what do you think?
