“I’m thankful for the fact that fashion has never been more crazy, chaotic, diverse, insane, incomprehensible and fascinating than it is now. It could have gone either way and it just got bigger and more crazy and more fun and more intriguing and more fabulous.”

Penelope Cruz is taking the fashion world by storm
When the Spanish star does fashion it is not all just play-acting. After the Mango campaign she ventured into a lingerie collection together with her sister Monica for the English brand Agent Provocateur. The collection, named »Agent«, will be in stores at the end of August 2013. In the waiting time, Penelope Cruz is running for the lead role in the upcoming film »Gucci« about the Italian fashion house of the same name, directed by Jordan Scott, the daughter of Ridley Scott.

Creative director leaves Balenciaga
One of the heavyweights in fashion just left his post as designer for Balenciaga. For 15 years Nicolas Ghesquière has put his fingerprint on the French fashion house with his avant-garde collections. He was the mastermind behind the cult bag Lariat and the appointment of Twilight-actress Kristen Stewart as face for the fragrance Florabotanica.
Guerlain embracing popupism
Nothing is everlasting, and especially not in fashion. Now more than ever, temporary showcases pop up everywhere, and hardly have they opened their doors to the public, before they disappear again.
Guerlain recently gave in to the pop-up trend and opened a temporary store as a spatial communication tool to highlight their newest fragrance La Petite Robe Noir. The store incarnates the scent with romantic chandeliers and ornamented furniture carrying everyone away to a fairytale universe impossible to resist. Just like every pop-up store, this one is arty and edgy, and not only does it display a product, it offers a complete experience.

“It’s like, admire me for what? What have I done? It’s not that being in a Burberry campaign or walking in a Chanel show is nothing. It’s just…I know I can do more.” -Cara Delevingne (in the latest issue of Style.com/Print) on her new “It Girl” status
