Baubles and Bubbly at the PlazaYesterday

Few combinations make more sense than the Plaza Hotel and chic baubles. On Monday night Lia Sophia’s Elena Kiam and Nylon’s Dani Stahl, who brings creative direction to the red carpet collection, invited their nearest and dearest to pile on sparkly earrings, necklaces, cocktail rings and bracelets. Shoshanna Gruss, Charlotte Ronson and The City’s Olivia Palermo had a field day trying on pieces from the Spring 209 collection, which fuses futuristic form and stylistic function. Called “2020” this season features modular and architectural shapes with crystal details. We expect to see these pieces on editors, starlets and socials all over town.
Priced $80-$3,000, the collection will be available at liasophia.com.

Louis Vuitton and Madonna? Yes Please.November 20

Madonna is going to be the new face of Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2009 campaign, according to sources at WWD. We have to say we saw it coming with her stunning Madonna for Versace ads and thought it was about time another fashion powerhouse scooped her up. She will work with frequent collaborator Steven Miesel ( he shot numerous picture for her infamous 1992 book “Sex”) to take the iconic shots. Meisel is following along an impressive line of photographers for the major fashion label. We were thrilled with Annie Leibovitz’s campaign for the house, which featured icons like Sean Connery, Keith Richard,  Mikhail Gorbachev, Francis Ford Coppola and Sophia Coppola and love the work of  Patrick Demarchelier and Inez & Vinoodh, who have also shaped LV  campaign history. Based on previous ads we hope the rumors are true, because there’s no doubt Madonna’s will be just as brilliant!
