The man with the golden touch and fingerless gloves, Karl Lagerfeld, designer of Chanel, Fendi, Lagerfeld Gallery, product campaign photographer, writer, has just added road safety to his lofty resume. One does not think of road safety as a hot or sexy commodity, nor do you associate the Kaiser with a fluorescent yellow safety vest, but it is a collaboration that is underway for summertime. Lagerfeld will appear in the road safety ads in France with his typical dour expression, white ponytail and dark glasses, all the while sporting the yellow safety vest encouraging drivers to equip themselves with safety vests with this simple statement, "It's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't match anything, but it can save your life." But fear not, Karl remains his stylish self, pairing the safety vest with a black suit, crisp white shirt and bow tie.

With the Beijing Olympics just months away, sporting modern asian-interpreted styles is so ahead of the trend curve that will ensue. Be inspired by Mandarin collars, Emperor jackets, origami or as we were, the male Yukata (lite, summer kimono). We chose this French Connection Dune Dream wrap dress for its modernizing of the Yukata with its dropped waist, deep criss-cross front and low slung belt. But remember folks you heard the trend-spot here first!
