Denim is about to become a big business for Tory Burch. The designer is looking to expand her ready-to-wear product offering to help the brand move into Europe and Asia markets, and jeans are her golden ticket. The first major denim collection from Tory Burch will be released this fall and include denim leggings, a denim jacket with washable leather sleeves, high-waisted trousers, and hand-painted silver jeans. Retail prices will range from $165 to $250 for bottoms and $295 to $425 for jackets. Burch is so confident that there is room for her classic updates in the denim market, she has confirmed the category will make up 10 percent of her clothing business by the end of this year.

Alber Elbaz Does Multifunctional Fashion For Lanvin's Resort Collection

"All women want to be different," said Alber Elbaz at the close of his resort collection for Lanvin. According to his cruise lineup, they also want multifunctional fashion. Heavy on transformable pieces—a draped one-piece swimsuit doubles as a "robe de yacht" with the addition of a mini skirt and turns into a more evening appropriate dress when paired with a knee-length swing skirt. There were also reversible cocktail looks, which go from basic black sheaths to tulle and ruffle embellished chiffon dresses with one simple zip. Clearly Elbaz has been thinking of a modern girl and her many wardrobe needs.
