Bring on the Kirkwoods

Shoe genius, Nicholas Kirkwood, collaborated with some big names for the SS11 collections - Rodarte and Peter Pilotto to name a few.

The only problem is which ones to choose.. Here are some of the options:


Kirkwood for Peter Pilotto

 



Another successful (and sculptural) collaboration with the Mulleavy sisters for Rodarte





Emmanuelle Succeeds to the Throne

As you might know, Emmanuelle Alt has been named the new rédactrice en chef of Vogue Paris - and thank GOD (and Condé Nast) for that! Who else would be worthy of running one of the world's best styled magazines after the legendary Roitfeld?

But what is Kaiser Karl's verdict? To WWD he said, "Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out." "I personally like her. She's a handsome French woman. She has a style, but is it enough to make a whole magazine?" "As editor-in-chief, she may blossom." We believe in you, Emmanuelle!

The Other Karl

I'm off to the Canary Islands for a week so while I'm away, I encourage you all to take a look at the amazing stylist/fashion editor, Karl Templer's work. He's worked with everyone from Alexander Wang to Christy Turlington and I especially love the work he's done for Interview and Vogue Italia.

Here are some of the awesome pics that Karl has worked on.
