>> Behati Prinsloo Gives Details on Coco Rocha's Wedding —While no pictures have surfaced yet from Coco Rocha's wedding last week to interior designer James Conran, Behati Prinsloo, Rocha's close friend, let slip a few details about the ceremony, which took place at the same French castle in which Conran proposed. The ceremony was small — only 50 people attended — and Rocha wore a Zac Posen gown. “It was tight over her body all the way to her knees, then it had this extreme mermaid tail at the bottom," Prinsloo explained. "The straps were off the shoulder, and the material looked vintage — it’s sort of hard to explain, you have to see it . . . It was unbelievable. When I saw her, I wanted to cry. I still can’t stop thinking about how beautiful the wedding was.” [Modelinia]

Inspired by the gender-bending style of Frida Kahlo, Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci went for a mix of men's and women's wear in his resort 2011 collection. The Mexican painter surely would have fallen equally for Tisci's tuxedo coats and tailcoats (some covered in a bold leopard print) as the more feminine pleated skirts with lace details. A floor-length chiffon dress with graphic red stripes looks especially Frida-esque.
