After Jimmy Choo Hunter boots, the J. Mendel Hunter rubber boots in both short and long versions will retail around $585 and $795 respectively through stores like Nordstrom and hunter – boot dot com. Wearing Hunter rubber boots has been glamorized by the likes of Kate Moss (who puts them on to party at the summer festivals) or Angelina Jolie (who wore red Hunters in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Paired with just a white men shirt). If you can afford such rubber boots, you surely have no business in the mud, so what would you buy them for?

This barely launched video doesn’t help brushing Lagerfeld’s cult listening preferences. In fact, Jean Roch’s childish tune & video suggestively titles “Saint – Tropez” should have more negative impact on Chanel’s head designer’s reputation rather than highlighting his excellent taste. Actually, this song fits right into the Chanel Cruise 2013 picture – I still don’t know if I should laugh or cry!

How. Is. This. Even. Possible? If you think I’m overreacting, please hit the play button to listen and marvel yourself at Jean Roch Ft Snoop Dogg and Karl Lagerfeld Saint Tropez!

And then there’s the Kaiser. Who, you may remember, has this sweet little cutie pie kitty called Choupette. And who, just as his almighty stylish master, is particularly fond of iPads. A kitty cat! Playing with an iPad. Santa? Puuuuhleaaaase? (don’t you just miss those times when der Kaiser said he didn’t touched computers and all? today, news don’t circulate: news twitterate!)

See through black lace Comme Des Garcons dress and white boxer shorts! Which is actually a completely legitimate design from Rei Kawakubo’s Spring Summer 2012 Men Collection. Only sifted through Marc Jacobs’ style equals a lot of skin. A lot! Look at the bright side, though – he kept his undies on!

Cate Blanchett kept true to her statuesque appearance with a black McQueen dress while Florence Welch remained faithful to butter – y shades in a complex tiered light beige McQueen dress. Beyond honoring Schiaparelli and Prada, the Met Gala is first and foremost about fashion. And both Cate and Florence delivered a respectable amount of amazing style on tonight’s Red Carpet!

I know, it’s a bit too much, but what’s fashion without excess? Besides, Raf Simmons as styled by Olivier Rizzo and photographed by Willy Vanderperre looks so pretty and summery and artsy all around! I’m looking forward for the inside goodies as well as the other six remaining covers! (aren’t you? These two i-D-ed so far are dreamy!)

An avant – gout of Metropolitan Museum’s new exhibition: 2012 brings us “Impossible Conversations”. Inspired by Miguel Covarrubia’s “Impossible Interviews” from Vanity Fair (back from the 1930s), the new exhibition simulates conversations between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada organized in seven themed galleries.

The new exhibition is available through August 19, 2012 and, after the jump, you’ll see fragments of grace torn right from the above mentioned galleries plus a really interesting presentation video.

With strange names like Waist Up / Waist Down, Ugly Chic, Hard Chic, Naif Chic, The Classical Body, The Exotic Body, The Surreal Body, the new Met Museum exhibition promises to be not just interesting and fashion – comprehensive but also very important since it celebrates the work of two women designers. The presentation video below is a great introduction to Met’s 2012 exhibition, so if you have a good 15 minutes to spend, don’t hesitate in pressing play! (don’t forget to tune in here if you want to watch the live stream!)

We won’t have to wait that long to see the magic Glass Slippers, though. Louboutin’s Cinderella shoes are said to be revealed this very summer. Young ladies of the world rejoice thinking that their sweet Cinderella was a Louboutins – wearing fashionistas!

92 days and counting until the London Olympic Games begin, so Ralph Lauren stores are reportedly going to stock on the Ralph Lauren 2012 Team USA Olympic collection starting next month. You have until the end of July to match and coordinate your closet with the Olympic fever! (check out the team video right after the jump)

So, Donatella is basically like us. Only with more plastic surgeries and heavy bank accounts. She starts her day at 8am with a 45 minutes workout and then some beauty procedures (I don’t want to know more details about that, honestly, I’m always under the impression that she made a pact with some sort of Dorian Gray knife). Then it’s news, news, news on the way to work and after it’s TV and DVDs. What did I tell you? Pretty much like you and me. Oh, and she’s a fan of Downtown Abbey! – if you needed more reasons to watch the series, there you have it! (you can check out the original story here)
