As if Dior hasn’t teased us enough in the past year, keeping us wondering for 13 months who’d fill John Galliano‘s Creative Directorial heels (thank you, Raf Simons), we’re now faced with another teaser. The newest Dior film, Secret Garden – Versailles, flashes Daria Strokous, Melissa Stasiuk and Xiao Wen Ju in Marie Antoinette’s playground, in slightly scandalous exposure. The full film drops tomorrow, and sticking with their newfound knack for keeping directors hush hush, we won’t know who directed this film until it launches on Dior.com, May 3rd, 2012.

- Marie Antoinette may have lost her head but at least homegirl kept her shoes. A pair of the infamous queen’s pumps dating back to 1790 sold for over $57,000 at a recent French auction. [WWD]
- Abercrombie & Fitch got in touch with its not-so-inner homosexual with this Bruce Weber-directed homage to hot boys groping each other wrestling.

Whilst daydreaming about the wardrobes of the Fashion Week Elite, we found ourselves wondering whose closets they, in turn, covet. Style icon Iris Apfel, budding designer & Eco Domani winner Titania Inglis, and front row celeb staple Kristin Chenoweth and stunning others let us peek inside their imagination at whose wardrobe they’d go all Winona Ryder on. Who wants in on Tom Ford‘s dressing suite? Who’d take on Daphne Guinness? Take a look.

It’s the SuperTailor look. You know, the kind of tailoring made out of superhero materials like neoprene, rubberized cotton, jacquard… okay that last one was more for the Marie Antoinette type, but she was a cake eating hero, too. Nicola Formichetti and Romain Kremer put out a collection of modern party-after-businessman looks for Mugler Fall 2012. It’s not as wild as the typical Thierry, but the textures carry historical silhouettes into overtime.

The beehive - just about as much fun you can have with a hairstyle since the days of Marie Antoinette. From the women of Mad Men to the late, great Amy Winehouse, this up-do is certainly a tall order… and we could never get enough. Today’s extreme beauty is a tribute to those larger-than-life beehives – the square, the braided, the striped and everything in between.

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, 12 pairs of tatas!

These ladies are celebrating in their birthday suits, and we love them for it. That’s right, even you Lindsay.

Since the moment Kate became Catherine, we’ve been a world fascinated by fascinators. This feather headdress is drenched in history, fluttering in and out of fashion over time. But as the summer of the fascinator has flown us by, is this trend is still flying? Come New York Fashion Week, will they run the way? Style the street? Or have these birds migrated on? Let’s look at where they came from, to see if we can tell where they’re going.

In terms of cuisine, New York City has everything you could possibly want- if you starve here, it’s your own fault. But one thing was missing from the NYC food scene until this morning when the world’s most renowned macaroonery finally opened its doors here in our fair city. Established in Paris in 1862, Maison Ladurée patisserie has finally landed stateside.
