Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty

Now that the run of stunning runway spectacles from Alexander McQueen & John Galliano has come to an end, we miss the imagination of Christian Lacroix in the world of Haute Couture even more. And while there's no word of him returning, we can't wait to take-in his collaborative book with Camilla Morton, Christian Lacroix and the Tale of Sleeping Beauty. Together they've created a vivid take on the classic fable that also happens to tell Lacroix's own life story with illustrations from the designer. Inspiring, entertaining and decorative, it makes a marvelous treat for any true Lacroix fan.

A Vintage Selection from Bond 07 by Selima

From one of New York's Savviest Vintage Collectors:

Vnyc is proud to announce an ongoing collaboration with Bond 07 by Selima, Bond St.'s vintage haven.

After our first meeting with the witty duo behind Bond 07, Angel Cruz & Selima Salaun, it was clear that we not only shared a love of fine vintage, but an understanding of wearable vintage.

Cruz, a fashion historian extraordinaire & vintage enthusiast Salaun, the creative vision behind Selima Optique, a go-to luxury eyewear label, have amassed a veritable range of iconic ready-to-wear pieces that highlight some of fashion's most well-designed moments.

Together, we've cherry-picked their collection to bring you an exclusive chance to stock up on their considerable range in our new Bond 07 by Selima section.

And come September Vnyc will be adding our own edited selection at their Bond 07 boutique located at 7 Bond St. New York, Ny 10012.

Golden Globes Best Dressed: Diane Kruger

Ooh Lacroix:

Our favorite look at this year's 67th Golden Globes was hands down Diane Kruger's bold pink Christian Lacroix Haute Couture number. Once again, the actress always gets it right and having Joshua Jackson on your arm ain't that bad either.
