The spots are slated to break at month’s end in France and the U.K. and are the first in a four-part series, with Paris being only the first city and chapter. Further details about her next adventure, and what precious cargo she’s carrying, are to be revealed on a forthcoming Web site: LadyDior.com, which is set to go live in mid-November.

Designer Discovery: Rebecca Minkoff

Born in San Diego, California, Rebecca’s first love was the art of design and began sewing at the age of 8. Although Rebecca’s handbags have been a hit among the stars and women all around the world, she began designing clothing at the age of 18. She launched her clothing line in 2001, but it wasn’t until her good friend and actress Jenna Elfman asked her to design a handbag for her next movie that the ‘Morning After’ bag was born.

Her clothing line had the details that one would expect in a well made garment and were cut to move over the body with ease. She took these ideas to her handbag collection, wanting to design bags for everyday women that were versatile in color and comfortable in style. This 26 year old has made her mark in the New York fashion scene as a notable designer and plans to bring back her clothing line next Spring.

Nutella Becomes Fashionable

My favorite guilty snack just collided with some fabric and two handles. That’s right, the Nugella bag replicates the container it is sold in and is targeted to gluttonous fashion addicts.
