Fashion news: Isabella Blow biopic, blogger inspires Zara and how the economy affects the height of heels
Though Isabella Blow‘s wardrobe will be auctioned off this September, hat-designer Philip Treacy has revealed that a film about the fashion editor’s life is in the works. John Galliano will play himself and for the thus unconfirmed lead role, Andre Leon Talley promises “Treacy has a great trick up his hat, and it’s going to rock the world.” [Fashionologie]
British designer Giles Deacon is going to be a very busy bee. Aside from running his eponymous line and working with retailer New Look, he has just been declared creative director of Emanuel Ungaro. [Racked]
Louis Vuitton is at it again. The luxury label’s new London shop manages to make Harrods look like a 7-Eleven. The über-decadent Bond Street location opens this Friday, and features hand-carved marble logos, golden leaf detailing, and stairs that light up up with every footstep. [WWD]
Karma for Cruz: The celebrity auction organized by actress Penélope Cruz in Cannes was a huge success. Red carpet gowns donated by the likes of Salma Hayek, Diane Kruger and Marion Cotillard helped to raise over £200,000 for Sean Penn‘s Haitian Relief Organization. [Vogue UK]
As the stock market sinks, so do women’s heels. This according to an article in the Wall Street Journal which attributes kitten heels seen on the runways of Chanel and Marc Jacobs as a product of the recession, due to the fact that a lower heel generally costs less. It may also have something to do with sore feet. [The Cut]
Looks like Zara‘s European retailers are finding inspiration in social media. This weekend, personal style blogger Betty, from Le Blog de Betty, found herself on a t-shirt of Zara’s TRF line, which bears an illustration identical to a photo she had posted in the past. Update those facebook privacy settings, there’s no telling where they’ll look next. [Fashion Indie]
