No matter how much you plan, some days you can't escape the heat.
by coutorture No matter how much you plan, some days you can't escape the heat. You can, however, sit in front of your air conditioner and read today's Must Read posts from: In My Bag falls for Kooba's Jenny handbag. Men's Flair appreciates the finer things in life, like a suit from J Press. Whenever skin care questions or concerns arise, it's best to sit and chat with a dermatologist. Beautynomics' chat with one helps ease our own concerns. Stained Couture isn't sure how to feel about a pair of suede Miu Miu pumps. Monkey Posh falls head over heels for Summer fragrances.

Layla Pakzad From Salt Swimwear: Her Summer Picks

This burgundy number has to be one of the most gorgeous swimsuits we've ever seen.
by coutorture

This burgundy number has to be one of the most gorgeous swimsuits we've ever seen. It comes in black and taupe, it is stunning. Layla Pakzad, founder and designer of Salt Swimwear lives in Venice Beach, California where the skies are blue and the need for swimwear, plentiful. For this reason, her suits are so well-made and well-thought out you could wear them goofing around in the water just as easily as you could out to dinner (we mean it, with the right skirt this suit would make a great outfit). In our previous interview with the designer we asked her whether she might design clothing, her response, "We have been cooking up some sexy day to night numbers. I love the idea of having pieces that you can effortlessly wear off the beach and into the sultry night..". We frankly can't wait. To give you a taste of what Pakzad has on her must-have list for summer, check out her picks below. From slinky gold bangles to Missoni blankets to her own designs, her style is what we imagine a Venice Beach gal gravitates towards. Sigh...where life is all jade, waves, and A.P.C. blouses.

Fashion In 50 Seconds 7/22/08

The Italian industrialist behind Diesel has acquired the majority of Dutch designer firm, Viktor & Rolf.
by coutorture The Italian industrialist behind Diesel has acquired the majority of Dutch designer firm, Viktor & Rolf. Renzo Rosso plans to erect freestanding stores, boost the ready to wear business, and catapult licensed products such as sunglasses for the brand. This arrangement has been in the works for almost a year now, and the designer's say it was partly due to their wanting to make sure Rosso was a right fit. They were finally convinced of the partnership by watching Rosso successfully back and promote Margiela--a designer who is similarly 'off-the-wall' and who, even with Rosso making a major investment in his brand, seems to design just exactly how he pleases. Gucci is partnering with Vodaphone who is partnering with iPhone and soon you will be able to buy Gucci handbags as easily as you can find the 'nearest Gelato parlour'. Our grandparents say life is getting more complicated, but we're pretty sure it's just getting easier. The Gucci feature will only be available in Italy for the time being--hence the Vodaphone bit. In other news, well-styled television shows make people want to buy clothing (we know this) but Mad Men might be just the recession-appropriate drama for viewers to emulate. Prada's moving 5,650 square feet to San Francisco, as the eleventh Prada store in the U.S. and the first to open since 2004. Bill Cunningham loves a dandy.
