Steal Her Style: Rihanna

Rihanna is evidence that every once and a while, certain fashion icons can pull off literally anything designers throw at them. Not only does she have a gorgeous face and a killer bod to boot, this leading lady has an innate sense of style that many of us would die to be able to pull off. It seems as though the recent unfortunate happenings between her and Chris Brown have only intensified her inner fashion rebel. Recently, you can find her sporting edgy Alexander Wang's amazing pieces and rocking lethal weapons as finger accessories. Not to mention her insanely hot Mohawk, which apparently can be sophisticated in a sexy bufont or casually punked out. Her look is complete head to toe to finger tips, which in the picture featured above, are shown with talon like red/black nails. We're more into her fire-engine-red manicure, but Rihanna is definitely...what's the word? Oh thanks Tyra Banks....fierce.

The Best of Super Saturday

A good deal isn’t hard to find these days, but the deeply discounted duds offered at Super Saturday 12, last weekend in Water Mill, NY, were nothing to be scoffed at. Hosted by Donna Karan, Ariel Foxman, InStyle, Kelly Ripa and Blake Lively, this years Super Saturday raised $3.4 million for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.


Guests such as Lorraine Bracco, news legend Barbara Walters, model Christie Turlington, Mariska Hargitay and actress Kerry Washington picked through racks from labels like Yigal Azrouël, Charlotte Ronson and Brian Reyes.

Here is a best-dressed montage of the event: Kelly Ripa, looking amazing as always, in a white and paisley printed maxi. Fabiola Beracasa sports white loafers. (You can expect to see men’s wear inspired shoes everywhere this fall.) Charlotte Ronson and Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss look effortlessly chic in their relaxed ensembles from their own labels. Kerry Washington pulls off a difficult beige and sherbert combo with style and ease. Hana Soukupova’s original silk and jean short combo is perfect for the day’s events. Co-host Blake Lively wears a trendy body-con white mini with co-star Kelly Rutherford in a tribal printed maxi.

Givenchy: A Quick History

The house of Givenchy was founded in the 1950s by designer Hubert de Givenchy and is now owned by luxury goods behemoth LVMH.

Hubert de Givenchy was known for his modern, ladylike styles, which earned him many famous clients such as Audrey Hepburn and the Guinness, Grimaldi and Kennedy families.

John Galliano succeeded Givenchy upon his retirement but was in turn promoted to Christian Dior less than two years later, prompting the hiring of Alexander McQueen; In 2001, designer Julien McDonald was appointed Artistic Director for the women's lines, which consist of haute couture and ready-to-wear.

The reins for both collections were ultimately passed on to Riccardo Tisci in 2005 when he was named chief designer of womenswear. Tisci's apparent fascination with gothic touches and space-age minimalism have drawn new attention to the brand.
