Couture’s new additions…
There will be two new names on the couture calendar this July: Ulyana Sergeenko and Ilja.

Being the Rykiel woman…
Julie de Libran, the designer at the helm of Sonia Rykiel, likes to dress women who embrace their individuality. “Each has different strengths, different beauty, a different character, but each follows her passion,” de Libran said of her Rykiel muse. The French-born, California-raised designer has been the artistic director at the label for two seasons and understands its Parisian aesthetic, explaining that she likes “that this house’s attitude is feminine and sexy.” [The Edit]
Louboutin doesn’t look down…
It may sound surprising, but in a recent interview, Christian Louboutin revealed that when he first meets a person, he never looks at his or her shoes. “I look at their eyes and face and assess their voice. It’s more exciting to imagine what shoe they would wear,” the designer explained, adding, “I’m usually wrong.” [The Evening Standard]
