Ikram Discovered Michelle Obama’s Moises de la Renta Pieces in Oscar de la Renta’s Showroom
Michelle Obama wore her first piece by Oscar de la Renta’s son Moises publicly in September of last year. “I had gotten in contact with a woman named Ikram, and she had liked some of the pieces,” Moises explained at the Museo del Barrio gala last night. Ironically, Moises was using his father Oscar’s showroom at the time, though the First Lady has yet to wear the elder De la Renta’s designs. “And it was very funny, [Ikram] was like, ‘I have a very special friend I’d like to show this to.’ And you know, I didn’t know, obviously, it was the First Lady, and I get a phone call maybe a week and a half, two weeks later, ‘Hey, could you make this for so-and-so?’” he said. “I was speechless; I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s your special friend?’” It was a surreal experience, the younger De la Renta says, a matter of being in the right place at the right time. “And it was so great because it was actually my first full collection, it was fall, and, you know, it happened just to be, like, crazy timing.” And yes, the publicity has been good. “It helped my business greatly, and it’s something that I’m very grateful for.”
Moises says that his capsule collection of tees for Mango did well, and he and the retailer are in talks to possibly team up this fall on another, bigger, limited-edition collection.
Meanwhile, under his own MDLR label, he is launching jewelry and furs, hopefully by the end of the summer. The jewelry is costume with prices ranging from accessible to low high-end. The designer says he’s always been into jewelry, and the majority of the new collection is very geometric, of wood and gold, with no stones or gems.
Gwen Stefani’s Manicure And Pedicure With Son Kingston
If Gwen Stefani really is pregnant again, let us all cross fingers and hope for a girl! One whom she’d be able to take along at the mani – pedi and carry out wearing nails lacquer on without having to creep us all out!
Because, regardless of how conservative I might sound, seeing a 4-year-old with bleached hair, black nails and multicolored toe nails, gives me the chills. Little rocker boy, eh, Gwen? (photos via)

If Crystal Renn Lost Any Weight, It Wasn’t Because She Tried To
Apparently, People and its inner circle thought Crystal Renn looked a little thinner when she walked in the Chanel resort show. “[T]ongues began wagging that she was losing her signature curves,” People writes. They did? We didn’t notice, but sooner or later someone would wonder if she had dared to lose weight — perhaps the only time in modeling this would be viewed by the industry as a bad thing.
“She is not trying to lose weight at all,” her Ford Models agent tells PEOPLE. “She fluctuates between a 10 and a 14.” At the moment, she seems to be on the lower end of that range, in part, her agent says, because she’s been so active recently. “She went hiking in Patagonia for three weeks over the holidays and she firmed up and got a little smaller,” he says. “She has also been traveling like crazy and tends to be smaller when that happens.”
Yeah, what is she supposed to do — leave life behind in favor of sitting in a chair next to the refrigerator? Actually, if we were paid to be curvy, that’s so something we would do.

Norse Projects Chambray Shirt
We love Norse Projects here at Selectism. This chambray shirt from their Spring/Summer collection is a favorite in this editor’s closet. Need Supply has it in stock Stateside. “Chambray button down with a one-wash treatment. Pockets at chest with button closures.” A sailor shirt? Not really. It’s more like a lounger. Rock it.
