What better time than fashion week in New York, at the outdoor park which had Creative director Francisco Costa-Calvin Klein Collection for women; welcome a host of gorgeous models who once endorsed its proficient pieces as well as those who didn’t.

Eva Mendes showed off the best of her, Halle Berry could not define the word smoldering better than she did, walking hand-in-hand with painfully good looking hubby Gabriel Aubery. Eugenia Volodina, Natasha Poly and Julia Stegner hung out together looking sprightly kyoot and Ashley Olsen stepped in with a classic mix of chic black and white by Calvin Klein and mingled with editrixes Glenda Bailey, Linda Wells, and Cathy Horyn.

Other biggy bugz included Martha Stewart, Cynthia Nixon, Brooke Shields and Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour, Naomi Watts, Djimon Hounsou and fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons, Ethan Hawke and his wife, Ryan Shawhughes, Claire Danes along with boyfriend Hugh Dancy, Jared Leto, Hana Soupukova and Anja Rubik.

Adding that much needed touch of ebony, it would make up a casual and easy ensemble with the mix of the classic close fitting pair of stockings, pointed toe pumps and a gorgeous cashmere neck wrap….

Can’t leave the oversized black tote behind !

Gareth Pugh’s sunglasses for Moët, come in a strictly limited edition run of 200, to be bestowed only upon special guests of Moët.

Pugh explains, “Sunglasses are an accessory that I’ve not worked with until now. With the emphasis of lighting in the Moët Room, sunglasses seemed like the right choice for the Moët Room key. This project has pushed my boundaries in terms of design. I have relished the challenge, alongside working with Moët & Chandon once again.”

His Journey….

Yves Saint Laurent’s legacy as a king of fashion designers, who created a masterpiece of a brand, keeps growing.

•Yves Saint Laurent was born in 1936 and grew up in Oran, Algeria
• At 17, he left for Paris where he showed his drawings to Michel de Brunhoff - director of French Vogue - who published several of them immediately
• Following a stint at fashion school, Yves Saint Laurent was introduced to Christian Dior where he worked until Dior’s death in 1957
• After taking over as art director for Dior, Yves Saint Laurent launched his first collection for the company, the Ligne Trapéze, that year. It was a resounding success and won him a Neiman Marcus Oscar
• In 1962, after completing National Service, Yves Saint Laurent set up his own fashion house with Pierre Bergé
• In 1966, he introduced le smoking - his legendary smoking suit. His other inventions include the reefer jacket (1962), the sheer blouse (1966), and the jumpsuit (1968)
• In October 1998 Yves Saint Laurent showed his last ready-to-wear collection for the Rive Gauche label he had founded more than 30 years before. He carried on his haute couture until 2002

After a brief stint with Alber Elbaz as designer, in 1999 Tom Ford arrived to take control at the house. The brand entered the stratosphere where it remains today, covering perfume and menswear as well as womenswear.

At his last show, in 2002, a tearful Yves Saint Laurent took his final bow as his long-time muse, Catherine Deneuve, sang Ma Plus Belle Histoire d’Amour. Stefano Pilati, who replaced Tom Ford in 2005, continues Yves Saint Laurent’s message that “dressing is a way of life”.

Yves Saint Laurent died after a long period of ill health at his home in Paris on June 1, 2008. He was 71.

Lauren Conrad launches her new clothing line at Holt Renfrew on March 28, 2008 in Toronto, Canada.

Give it up for the girl !!!

Well, atleast she ain’t full of shit like the rest of her Laguna beach frenemiez. I see her goin somewhere and making sense.

Lauren at the launch….

Giving due credit to her reality show fame, Conrad talks about her endeavor….“Being on a reality show and then trying to branch out into designing, it’s kind of a double-edged sword,”

“I would not be able to have the line if I didn’t have the reality show first or I wouldn’t be able to have it so soon, but because I was on a reality show, you don’t get the respect that you want and … I have done everything to deserve it as far as all the designing and everything that I would’ve done, reality show or not. Because I got the opportunity so much sooner, people are quick to criticize.”

Lauren launched her supposedly’ New,’ Clothing line at the Holt Renfrew Offices on March 28, and at Holt Renfrew, Yorkdale location on March 29, in Toronto, Canada.

Her Womenwear collection is available exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada and in 500 boutiques in the U.S.
