Seeing Red

Shoe designer Christian Louboutin, who is known for famously painting the soles of his shoes red, is suing Yves Saint Laurent for taking "his" idea and also painting the soles of their shoes red in their latest collection. YSL insists that they were in their right and were in no way trying to rip off Louboutin. Designer, Valentino has stepped in to defend YSL, saying he created a shoe with a red sole back in 1969...23 years before Louboutin even established his business.

 Although I do see Louboutin's side, it seems like this will be a tough case to win! 

The Queen of Hearts

Today would have been Princess Diana's 50'th birthday. In order of what would have been a milestone birthday if the princess wasn't tragically killed in a car accident, Newsweek magazine decided to feature Di on the cover. The magazine digitally aged the princess using photoshop, and pictured her walking along side daughter-in-law Kate Middleton.  

In my opinion, this magazine cover is wrong on so many levels. Tasteless, immoral and offensive. Instead of trying to imagine what the princess would have looked like, lets remember her how she was- an icon. Here is a look back at her most famous and iconic dresses: 

The "Elvis" dress by Catherine Walker

The dress she famously wore when she danced with John Travolta by Victor Edelstein

The head-turning "Revenge" dress by Christian Stambolian

...And lets not forget the most famous wedding dress in the world. Designed by David & Elizabeth Immanuel. So lets remember her how she was, humanitarian, fashion icon and Queen of Hearts.
