suri cruise
Adorable Alert! We’ve just watched this brilliant video interview of Manolo Blahnik, with Amy Odell of NYMag’s The Cut blog. (We wondered what she looked like and now we know). She went into Manolo’s New York boutique on 54th street where Manolo was signing copies of his book The Elves and the Shoemaker, which Amy describes as ‘a lovely little stocking stuffer for well-formed shoe addicts and shoe addicts in training’
We know from our colleagues who’ve had the privilege of meeting the great man that he is something of a charmer, and when we watched the video footage, we were not disappointed. But he’s also pretty hilarious and we particularly loved his non-verbal exclamations. When asked what he thought of big platform shoes that have so fashionable lately, he said ‘well, some of my own shoes are vulgar. . .but not as vulgar as . . .’ before making an indescribable exhalation of air combined with eyebrow moves. Love it!

Video: Duro Olowu Debuts Wild Prints in New York
London-based designer Duro Olowu brought his splashy color prints to New York for the first time this season, and The Cut’s Amy Odell was there for his debut presentation. Olowu’s collection was inspired by Mexican film actress María Félix and what he calls “the gaucho idea of life.” Watch the video to see why his models don’t stand still.
Lady Gaga Bought Stuff at a Preppy Clothing Store in Paris Today
As we enter a new year, it’s good to know that some things never change. Like Lady Gaga, who can be counted on to go out in near-freezing temperatures wearing a completely weather-inadequate outfit when most celebrities are hiding indoors, privately dieting their way toward rapidly approaching awards season. Here you see Gaga coming out of the Bruce Field store in Paris, wearing a nude thong over her fishnets. Bruce Field sells preppy, reasonably priced clothing and is currently having a blowout sale including these €10 khakis. “She bought a number of things,” a store employee told People.
Among the items a still-pantless Gaga and an assistant brought up from the downstairs try-on area and piled onto the shop’s counter, an eyewitness says, “were pants and a lot of scarves. Most everything in purple.” Did she buy pants? “I can’t tell you,” the shop employee says. “I can tell you she stayed about 20 minutes and when she left there were some 30 photographers-and loads of fans-outside. It’s been a most unusual afternoon.”

How Billy Reid Is Spending His $300,000 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Prize
It’s so boring that Cathy Horyn called it just that in her headline about the designer, who is based out of Florence, Alabama. Anyway, he’s using the prize money to open a Manhattan showroom, hire a product developer, set up a warehouse in Florence, and hire sales help. Runner-up Prabal Gurung said he put his 0,000 prize toward producing his spring collection. [On the Runway/NYT]
