Mets most daring?
"It's just a lace dress" Jacobs said on the event's livestream as he arrived on the red carpet. "I just didn't wanna wear a tuxedo and be boring."
And - far from being boring - the spring/summer 2012 Commes des Garcons look also honoured the two heroes of the night, he revealed.
"I think Miuccia Prada is such a celebration of the unconventional and so it felt like, appropriate, somehow. They are two women who I have always loved the work of; I mean Schiaparelli is one of my all-time heroes and Miuccia Prada continues to be a hero of mine. I am looking forward to seeing the exhibition."
Super Model settlement
"Everybody's glad for the sake and the benefit of the child that it's done," Pinault's lawyer David Aronson told the New York Postoutside the Manhattan Family Court . "He has gone a long way toward meeting those original demands," a source close to the negotiation said of Pinault, who Evangelista took to court asking for $46,000 (£28,000) a month for son Augustin's upkeep.
Evangelista, who took to the stand on Friday and revealed that her career had slowed in recent years, was due to give evidence for a second time yesterday before the agreement was reached. Pinault and Evangelista are not expected to be in court today as the agreement is confirmed by the judge, and are likely instead to be represented by their lawyers.
Rosie's Dress
The sale, which is open to the public, will also feature donations from Alexa Chung; a pair of Mulberry burgundy trousers, bag, shoes and coat worn by the star to a Mulberry dinner during London Fashion Week; art by Damien Hirst and Sir Peter Blake; and a Stephen Webster 18-carat white gold necklace, modelled by Daisy Lowe - who is also the face of the event. All proceeds from the evening will go towards the charity's Mending Broken Hearts appeal, to fund new research.
Barney's saved (new york sighs with relief)
"Financially, we've been moving in the right direction," Barneys chief executive Mark Lee told the New York Times. "What we haven't had is a balance sheet that made perfect sense."
The deal prevents the store from having to file for bankruptcy, as it did 1996. In 2007, Istithmar bought the company for £465.45 million, but the chain fell victim to the recession in 2008 and advisors were hired to help keep it afloat. Its new owners will relieve Barneys of debts of $590 million (£366 million).
Karl On Hollande
"As a triumph, it's quite modest," said Lagerfeld, noting that the new French President won 52 per cent of the public vote. "I like girlfriend. I think she's very handsome, very elegant."
Fellow French design luminary Christian Lacroix also opened up about Hollande's appointment.
"I can't hide my relief and happiness. No government helped fashion more than the Socialists at that time [recalling the last Socialist regime of François Mitterrand, who served from 1981 to 1995]" said Lacroix, before criticising Nicolas Sarkozy's rule. "How tragic-comic was the government in 2009 when the couture house fell into French Chapter 11? I am sure they had good intentions, but egos and politics were stronger than workers' future. I do expect a more humanist way of governing: courageous, fair and, above all, creative and innovative, without any fatalism. I do think things can be seen and managed another way."
French couturier Bouchra Jarrar added his thoughts about France's new First Lady.
"As for her style, she makes me think of a heroine in a Claude Chabrol movie," Jarrar told WWD. "She has an air of Marie-France Pisier, which pleases me a lot and could inspire me."
Farhi Change
"I am thrilled to be working with Nicole, her team and Kelso Place to drive this business forward," he said today. "With the new flagship store and plans for UK and international expansion, this is a very exciting time for the brand."
