MAN OF HONOR

0 comments

Today, Giorgio Armani will be awarded a Legion of Honor in Paris. French president Nicholas Sarkozy, who has invited the designer to the presidential residence, as reported in Fashion Wire Daily, will pin the medal on the designer himself.

Armani is currently in the City of Lights promoting his haute couture line, Armani Prive, as well. Double duty, it seems, but I bet getting awarded the Legion of Honor isn’t looked at as a chore. What’s more, he’s receiving this award before he turns 74 on July 11 – yes, Armani has been around for that long. Congratulations, Armani!

COLETTE POPS UP

1 comment
Jun 27, 2008 by Stephanie R.

Louis Vuitton started the pop up concept this year with the pop up Vuitton stores within Japanese artist Murakami’s art installations, with the stores featuring bags by the artist. Well it has caught on and now Colette will have a pop up mini store in New York City this summer on Fifth Avenue at 54th Street. The store will be set up for one month from September 6 through October 5. Colette, as you know (and again a fashion shame on you if you do not) is the hip, chic Parisian behemoth at 213 rue Saint-Honoré which carries all of the cutting edge labels and luxury designers that any fashionista, tourista and Lou Doillon wanna be could not live without. Much to the chagrin of Parisians, Colette will temporarily close its store for massive renovations starting July 7th, with an anticipated reopening by the end of August. Don’t be to upset though if you are in Paris and want to shop there, they will have a Suprette parked out front so you can still get your shop on.
