Alber Elbaz recently returned from Africa (his birthplace), for a post he will be taking on soon as a UNICEF Ambassador, mix that experience with his traditional Lanvin draping, chunky jewellery and luxurious fabrics and you basically got the ingredients of his triumphant Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Shoulders got plenty of attention in this collection; they came in various forms and shapes and in diverse fabrics from outwear to dresses. Fabrics include jersey (in trend for Fall/Winter 2010), gold and green lame, and some feathers here and there. The general vibe in this collection seemed to incorporate more masculine elements than previous collections, an attractive element we might add. “Women ask for masculine tailoring, but they want to feel fragile. They want daywear, but buy evening. I designed a whole lot of draped things, but then it looked like too much. An overdose of fashion” said Alber Elbaz of his prevailing passion to satisfy women’s needs.

Martin Margiela (the elusive designer who recently retired after over 20 years, but his team is continuing his legacy) is the least likely designer to collaborate with a very well known musician, but if it was going to happen, lead singer of R.E.M Michael Stipe would be the perfect person.

“Michael Stipe has used various means of expression of his creativity. A major part of his work is a reflection on the obsolete technology of modern times how fast it evolves, devices that one were pioneering and innovative quickly becoming outmoded and archaic. The microcassette he has created for Maison Martin Margiela is in the continuity of this work, and marks his first foray in working with sterling silver”

Demi Moore is one of my favorite actresses (ok, not all of her movies have been up to par, but when she does something good, it turns out great). Photographed by the fantastic duo, Mert & Marcus, Demi Moore firmly graces the cover of December’s W magazine.

In a lengthy interview, the fabulous Mrs. Kutcher discusses the new direction of her film career, her husband Ashton Kutcher and being an avid Twitter-atti. From the interview: “Twitter is serious stuff for Moore, who seems to think the public wants to read frequent posts about the trivial details of her life. Still, her obsessive tweeting has made her into one of the highest-profile celebrities of the new-media realm, with 2.2 million Twitter fans. (Kutcher, the first person to reach 1 million followers, is now approaching 4 million.) She says she was initially hesitant about opening up her private life, but Kutcher encouraged her. Now she praises the platform’s potential to create a “dialogue” between herself and fans. “You post something and get your finger on the pulse,” she says like a shrewd media marketer. “You know what people are interested in.” Clearly a passionate Twitter-er.
