Chanel, which is putting the spotlight on its iconic jacket as part of a roving exhibition, has chosen a downtown location for the New York leg of “The Little Black Jacket” tour. It is to run from June 8 to 15 at 18 Wooster Street, showcasing 113 photographs by Karl Lagerfeld of a range of women wearing the garment, from model Joan Smalls to artist Yoko Ono. Chanel is also planning window displays at its New York boutiques of jackets from its Paris-Bombay métiers d’art collection. A Steidl tome of the photos, styled by Carine Roitfeld, is due out in the fall. The exhibit wound up its Tokyo debut last month and is traveling to eight countries.

I need to see the “Grotte Stellaire” from Julien Salaud at the Palais de Tokyo when I go back to Paris! It looks amazing. If you speak French, check out the interview as well, pretty interesting concept.
The Mother Denim jeans look like they are cut to perfection! Skinny, straight, cropped, wide leg, shorts, overalls… Want!
Ciaté introduces the Caviar Manicure.The manicure consists of tiny pearls applied to the nail over a paint pot color. Not a fan of pearls, but I find interesting applying texture to the nails. I would play with the pearls all day…
Swedish Hasbeen has opened a pop-up shop at American Rag in L.A. It will feature a new SS12 sporty collection inspired by the 1940s-50s. Love the campaign!
Incredible historic photos of NYC from early twentieth century… Sometimes I want to live in the past, where things and people look more beautiful. More from the NYC Municipal Archives.
I really like the Alexander McQueen SS12 Spine Lace collection. It’s feminine, fierce, dramatic, elegant. Beautiful.
I had no idea that Lenny Kravitz had a design studio: Kravitz Design Inc?! I had heard about his collaboration with Sushi Shop, when they open their first store on Madison Avenue in NY, but he got to work with Starck for Kartell and he dressed up the iconic Mademoiselle chair. Pretty impressive. I am not a fan of the chairs though… I definitely prefer my little Eames chairs. Check out his interview with Cool Hunting.
Hmmm… not sure how I feel about this… I think it’s a bit creepy to wear Ken’s abs on your fingers, but at the same time, it’s so awesome! Check out the work of Margaux Lang.
