Azzedine Alaia to Open First Store in Decades

Jul 9, 2012 @ 5:30 pm

Now we have another reason to dream about jetting off to Paris! Azzedine Alaia, whose body-conscious designs are loved by celebrities like Katie Holmes, Paula Patton, and Gwyneth Paltrow, is opening his first store since his New York outpost closed in 1992. The flagship, which debuts next spring near Avenue Montaigne, the heart of Parisian luxury retail, will feature five floors and a courtyard area—the perfect setting for outdoor parties. While the designer has dressed his star clients for some of their most important moments—remember Sofia Coppola’s wedding gown and Kim Kardashian’s Oscars dress?—he prefers to keep a low profile, making this launch on the luxury shopping scene even more exciting!

The Shampoo Taylor Swift Swears By

Jul 9, 2012 @ 4:40 pm

Between poolside chemicals and over-styling to combat the humidity, summer can wreak havoc on your locks. We’re always in awe of Taylor Swift’s glossy strands so we asked the singer what she uses on her hair to keep it looking soft and healthy. She told InStyle.com “I don’t use any hair products, except for shampoo.” Her must-have? Kerastase Bain Apres-Soleil Shampoo ($36; kerastase-usa.com,) a light cleanser that quickly detangles and softens hair. “This is my favorite,” she adds. For more celebrity hair must haves, check out our gallery!

Couturier to the likes of Angelina Jolie and Princess Charlene of Monaco, Akris, based in Switzerland’s fabled “Embroidery City,” is celebrating its 90th year in business with a new commemorative book, curated by FIT’s museum director, Valerie Steele, with an assist from the brand’s designer, Albert Kriemler. “For us, this book is extremely special. If you think of the last 90 years, it’s much more an expression in five chapters of what Akris is today,” Kriemler told us at the Bergdorf Goodman launch of Akris, the book. “The final editing was the most exciting thing. It was like a recipe—doing a meal where you prepare everything for it, but then, when the mise en place is done, it’s really the most exciting moment.” And the finished product is beautiful! Complete with pictures of celebrity fans and decades-old pieces from the brand’s inception, Steele’s book truly gives a well-rounded history of the honored brand. Click through to preview the book, available to pre-order now ($125, assouline.com).
