As one of the three major protégés of Baron de Gunzburg, the others being Bill Blass and Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta is a design force to be reckoned with. Launching his own luxury label in the late 1960’s, de la Renta has been awarded, honored, acclaimed and even does philanthropy. Oscar de la Renta holds the key to a classic sophistication that has majorly been lost on generation X. Adored by all, de la Renta is ever-expanding his empire. Encompassing accessories and beyond, his pretty designs cost more then a pretty penny. Take for instance, his new Alligator Bow Clutch which retails for $8,690. The Bow Clutch has a leather lining, inside side pockets and an optional chain strap. The classicism we love from de la Renta for day or night, ladies if you can afford this clutch then go for it. This is one bag that will last forever!
The Burberry sign has officially joined the Manhattan skyline. Installation of the five-foot high Burberry lettering was lit up last week to mark the opening of the Burberry Headquarters at 444 Madison Avenue, New York, New York. To Burberry’s opening, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that "by placing its new headquarters for the Americas in midtown Manhattan and opening new stores here, Burberry is investing in the future of New York City, a worldwide hub for retail and fashion." Plus, Burberry promised half a million dollars to be donated to the Robin Hood Foundation, to support public education and job training for underprivileged New Yorkers. As thanks to the British-based design house, Bloomberg gave Burberry an official "Burberry Day." To cap "Burberry Day" off, a party at the Palace Hotel followed the signage light-up. Stars and Manhattan socialites showed up to celebrate Burberry in Manhattan. In attendance, decked in Burberry was Orlando Bloom, Penn Badgley, Justin Long, Blake Lively, and Claire Danes. Burberry’s new campaign and revamped designs will keep the classic name in tact. If the name fits then wear it and, with that, we officially say welcome to Manhattan!
