THE BITE An amuse-bouche of fashion news
Chanel + de la Fressange
Many fashion brands have attempted to diversify their model cast this season. Take, for example, Chanel, which has just (re-)recruited Inès de la Fressange to walk in its October 5 runway show. Fifty-three year-old Fressange, the face of Chanel in the Eighties, will also appear in the brand’s Spring 2011 ad campaign, along with modelling stars from the two ensuing decades, Stella Tennant and Freja Beha Erichsen. The hotly anticipated campaign shoot will take place in the south of France

Kenzo turns 40

We’ve seen the reemergence of preppy with Tommy Hilfiger’s brand refresher, Ralph Lauren’s big anniversary, and lots of nautical and sportswear influence on the runways. Maybe good trends come in opposites, because many of the Spring 2011 fashion shows have featured a punk edge. The trend popped up all over the place, from ripped denim shorts with lace-up boots and studded leather jackets at Balmain to motorcycle jackets at Balenciaga to fake nose piercings at Alexander Wang and Hakaan. There’s something for everyone this season.
Never one to shy away from whimsy, Parisian design house Miu Miu seems to have done it again (Remember last years too cute kitty print clogs? I do.) with their Spring 2011 Footwear Collection. And while I was less than ‘amused’ by some of the clothing collection.

Utilizing color, shiny patent leather, fun prints and even glitter, Miu Miu manages to unleash a thoroughly springy and girlish collection guaranteed to get you noticed in the best possibly way.
