EXCLUSIVE: Karl Lagerfeld Taps Carine Roitfeld for His Brand

When Karl Lagerfeld ignited designer collaborations and the “masstige” phenomenon in 2004 with his one-off collection for H&M, he had a secret collaborator with a silhouette as well-known and emphatic as his own: Carine Roitfeld. Now he has invited the fashion editor and stylist — known for her pencil skirts, taut sweaters and killer heels — to become an ongoing collaborator at his signature fashion house, WWD has learned. Their new partnership is to kick off in September with The Edit by Carine Roitfeld, her selection of “essential pieces” from the designer’s fall 2019 collection. “The collaboration will further evolve with additional projects to be announced later this year,” the Lagerfeld house said, divulging the development exclusively to WWD and calling Roitfeld an “integral contributor to the Karl Lagerfeld brand.” Since repositioning his signature fashion house in the masstige zone in 2010, the brand has expanded rapidly to more than 100 freestanding stores worldwide, plus online sales in 96 countries. A pioneer in freewheeling collaborations throughout his long fashion career, Lagerfeld only recently began inviting outside contributors to his brand. Most recently, Cindy Crawford’s 16-year-old daughter and doppelgänger Kaia Gerber signed a capsule collection for fall 2018 retailing. Last year, Lagerfeld also did a capsule collection with Sébastien

The 12 Best Press-On Nails You Can Buy On Amazon

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. While there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a fresh manicure, constant trips to the salon can become super expensive. This cost can make it hard to motivate yourself to try new things, and just generally prohibitive. That said, recently there have been tons and tons of press-on nail options popping up on Amazon. These are not the cheap press on nails from the early 90s; these are high-quality, durable and perhaps most importantly, absolutely beautiful. Amazon Prime members will get free shipping in just two days, so they’re the perfect option for those looking to throw on some nails before a big event or last minute gathering.

To remove, just soak them in acetone for up

Chef Alain Verzeroli Arrives in New York With Le Jardinier

Chef Alain Verzeroli is opening his first restaurant in New York, but he’s not just opening one restaurant — he’s opening two. The first, Le Jardinier, is now open on the ground floor of Aby Rosen’s new Norman Foster-designed luxury condo, located on the same block as the Seagram building in Midtown. His move to New York follows an 18-year stint in Japan, most recently as director of culinary operations for the Michelin-starred Château Restaurant Joël Robuchon in Tokyo. While inspired by the vibrant energy of the city, Verzeroli aimed to create a peaceful oasis with Le Jardinier, where the menu’s focus is on plants. “As soon as you enter the space everything calms down,” says Verzeroli a few days before opening from the plant-accented dining room, which was designed by Joseph Dirand. (The project marks his first New York restaurant as well.) “You have a lot of energy outside, but once you’re here it’s more silent. It’s really a space where you can relax,” he adds. “I think it’s nice to
