For a space as compact as it is (some 600 square feet of wall-to-wall shoes), Fred Segal Feet has certainly seen a lot of action in its four decades — Lionel Richie stopping by almost every day, Bette Davis in a wheelchair puffing delicately on a cigarette, Barbra Streisand at the front using the store’s phone (something reserved for an elite few).

Make a splash with Summer’s Hottest swimsuits & accessories.

Once an exclusive Hollywood getaway, the now barren Salton Sea has become a backdrop for Hollywood fashion yet again.

Just as there are countless designers to choose from for the perfect gown, there are plenty of exquisite handbag designers as well. However, the very first designer who comes to mind is Judith Leiber. These handbags are so much more than bags; these eye-catching statement pieces sparkle as soon as the lucky celeb carrying one steps out of her limo.

Lebanese designer Georges Chakra held his Spring/ Summer 2010 Couture show at at L’École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts during Paris Fashion Week. Drawing inspiration from nature’s beauty, Chakra’s collection treads the fine line between reality and fantasy while staying true to the femininity of women.

Chakra shared a collection of dresses with varying geometric lines, contemporary designs, and contrasting hues combined with delicate necklines and asymmetrical cuts. The shades of summer’s flamboyant pink-orange sunsets, flashes of metallic blue, sparkling gold and silver, and the eternal beauty of black and white exuded unparalleled elegance and sophistication. An endless variety of textures and adornments lent a magical touch to the collection.
