Karl Lagerfeld presents Chanel's Resort 2010 collection on the banks of the Lido in Venice, Itlay.

Staging a luxurious sunset show on the banks of the Lido in Venice where Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel frequently visited in the 1930s. Over a few weeks, tons of sand were brought to the site to level the beach, while custom Chanel cane furniture, bamboo, banana trees, and 300 peonies and hydrangeas were transported in by boat. The runway was made of natural wooden slats to imitate a boardwalk. As far as the collection, Lagerfeld mixed gothic glamour and a preppy nautical look.

(NEW YORK) When J.Crew creative director Jenna Lyons and team met supermodel, mother of two, and International Goodwill Ambassador Liya Kebede, a relationship was born. Lyons approached Kebede to appear in the April catalog, but both quickly realized their relationship needn't end there. The product of their partnership? Not only will Kebede be the first model to be the exclusive face of a J.Crew catalog, but J.Crew's Crewcuts line will pick up pieces from the model's handmade children's clothing line, Lemlem. Lemlem (the name means "to bloom") was launched by Kebede in 2007, with all of the pieces made by hand from natural cotton in her native Ethiopia. The line will be available at Crewcuts store locations and at jcrew.com beginning in April.

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2009: Dsquared2

Just when I thought I was finished posting on Milan Fashion Week 2009, I stumble upon Dsquared2 and I'm speechless!! My favorite is the white, three-piece pant suit with the gorgeous, lucite necklace. The whole runway show had a "Charlie's Angels" vibe going on which I thought was genius because I was such a fan of the show back in the day. The collection went from funky casual to sexy glam. Dean & Dan are twin designers with impeccable style!!

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2009: Etro

Etro Spring 2009 has a laid back feel. A girl likes to be comfortable without giving up on style. This collection keeps it relaxed and stylish. Yes, I know, the first model is sporting a fanny pack and any true fashionista would not be caught wearing one but hey, at least its a mini croc-bag and you gotta admit that the embellishment on her tank is gorgeous. Did I just justify her ensemble???

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2009: La Perla

La Perla started out as a lingerie and swimwear company, but has ventured into women's ready to wear collections. This line is sexy and fun, but would you expect anything less from La Perla???
