When I called Christian Louboutin, he was in the midst of watching his home country, France, play Mexico in the World Cup.
“Would you mind calling me back in 30 minutes? The game is almost over,” he asked with an air of distraction. France lost the game. But was Louboutin heartbroken? Hardly.
“I was betting for Mexico! I was just there. I like that country very much. They have a young crowd, a young team and they’re not pretentious. I’m very happy that they won,” he said over [...]

A clutch perfect for adding texture and glam to a monochromatic all-black look but just as great for pairing with a bright jewel-toned gown (a little red dress perhaps?). $895

The shoe. It is this season’s weapon. Do not for a moment undermine the heel’s potential to kill literally — they are sharp and long.

And saying very candidly that if it’s one Fashion item you plan to invest in this season, let it be the shoe.
Whether you are a high street shopper or a luxury brand addict, you will find [...]

Erst vor gut 20 Jahren begann man im Hause Cartier, das als Hoflieferant diverser Monarchen – einige der Dokumente, die es als solchen ausweisen, hängen in den Verkaufsräumen in der Rue de la Paix – auch „Juwelier der Könige“ genannt wurde, mit dem systematischen Aufbau einer eigenen Sammlung, um die Firmengeschichte zu dokumentieren.
