Manolo Blahnik Won't Collaborate With J.Crew, Nowness Translates to Chinese, and Christian Louboutin's Cinderella Shoe

  • Turns out that much-rumored collaboration between Manolo Blahnik and J.Crew isn't going to happen — or at least not this Fall. "Although we were looking forward to the potential collaboration between our two brands, we both came to the conclusion that fall wasn't the right time," a rep for Manolo Blahnik said in an email. "We hope to do something together in the future." [Elle]

  • Nowness, the online fashion and culture showcase owned by LVMH, debuted a Chinese version yesterday. In a statement, the site's editors said they made the move to capitalize "on China's significant position as a growing luxury market and the importance of digital and social media in the region." [The Wall Street Journal]

  • Heidi Klum partnered with Babies "R" Us on a line of baby products called Truly Scrumptious. The line includes infant-sized clothing and accessories, but it also extends to furniture, home decor, and bedding for the under-5 set. [LilSugar]

  • Christian Louboutin will collaborate with Disney when he creates a real-life version of Cinderella's famous glass slippers this Summer, commemorating the release of Cinderella on DVD this Fall. "I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world," Louboutin said. [The Huffington Post]

  • Calvin Klein's on-and-off boyfriend Nick Gruber reportedly left his New York penthouse for a stint at an undisclosed rehabilitation clinic on Wednesday. Sources saw Gruber, who was arrested for cocaine possession earlier this week, leaving his apartment with a wheelie suitcase and overheard him talking about the trip. [The Cut]

Francisco Costa Models, Natalia Vodianova Defends Her "Skinny" Comments, and Opening Ceremony Pops Up in London

  • Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa landed his first modeling assignment with the American Foundation for AIDS Research. Costa will star in a campaign advertising the organization's new "São Paolo for the Cure!" t-shirts, set to debut tomorrow in his native Brazil. He's joined in the campaign by fellow Brazilians Luciana Casta and Raquel Zimmermann. [Daily Front Row]

  • Natalia Vodianova took flak for saying "It's better to be skinny than to be fat" at this past weekend's Vogue festival, and today she responded to the criticism on her Facebook page, explaining that her original comment was designed to make people laugh. "If I was giving a speech I would have chosen my words more carefully of course," she wrote. [The Cut]

  • Opening Ceremony will open its first London store — a pop-up shop — to celebrate the start of the 2012 Olympic games this July. When the games are over, the store will move to a permanent spot on King Street in the Covent Garden neighborhood. "Bringing Opening Ceremony to Covent Garden is an important next step in the growth of our company," said founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim. [Catwalk Queen]

  • The Food and Drug Administration will start monitoring what goes into beauty products sold in the United States by creating a mandatory ingredient registry next year. Current law allows beauty companies to report their ingredients voluntarily, and there are only 10 ingredients that are banned from domestic products. In the European Union, tighter beauty industry regulations have banned some 1,200 ingredients. [Refinery29]

  • Richemont, owner of luxury jewelers and watchmakers like Cartier and IWC, won a momentous infringement case against a company that registered the trademark for Vacheron Constantin — Richemont's oldest watch brand — in Russia and sold clothes under that label. The outcome of the case means that a well-known trademark in one country can't be taken and reregistered in another country, because it can confuse consumers and harm the original trademark holder's reputation. "This is a landmark case with worldwide implications," said Richemont chief counsel Frederick Mostert. [Material World]

Calvin Klein's Boyfriend Nick Gruber Arrested For Cocaine Possession

>> Nick Gruber, the 22-year-old boyfriend of Calvin Klein, was arrested early this morning on three criminal charges — including possession of cocaine.

Police officers were called to Gruber's New York apartment when a friend reported that the former model had punched an unnamed 20-year-old man in the face. When the NYPD got there, the man Gruber hit was bleeding. When the cops attempted to arrest him, Gruber tried to get away by "flailing his arms in the air."

The police eventually got him under control but noticed that he was "suspiciously reaching to the front of his pants." The resulting strip search turned up an unspecified amount of cocaine.

By the time Gruber was handcuffed, he'd racked up three charges: possession of a controlled substance, resisting arrest, and misdemeanor assault. Whether he's been in contact with Klein today is unknown.

Klein, who is 69, and Gruber started appearing in public together in the Summer of 2010. Klein has been reticent to comment on their relationship but said last October that he simply "fell in love with a wonderful young man."

The 130-piece line will have everything from mascara with an adjustable brush to liquid foundation, lipstick, and glossy eyeliner pencils.

The campaign is the epitome of grungy cool, featuring top models Lara Stone, Fei Fei Sun, Herieth Paul, and Abbey Lee Kershaw, among others.

Emma Stone Red Outfit at New York Fashion Week

Create Emma Stone's All-Red Look For Your Next Fancy Affair For $30!

Emma Stone stopped by the Calvin Klein show at New York Fashion Week clad in an all-red ensemble — Calvin Klein shell top and full skirt with Brian Atwood pumps — that's too fabulous and fiery to overlook. Although this would have been the perfect Valentine's Day outfit, you can just as easily re-create it for your next fancy affair, especially since you can do it for just $30. Just pick up a red sleeveless crew-neck tank and high-waist circle skirt from American Apparel, and pair it with your favorite red pumps — they don't necessarily need to be ankle-strap peep-toes. If a circle skirt is too demure for you, you can also work this look with a pencil skirt (perfect for work) or cropped red trousers, and even red jeans! The options are many, but the key is to keep the look all red or else it'll veer off from its monochromatic path.

Calvin Klein Runway Fall 2012

Considering this morning's news that Occupy Wall Street protesters were planning to shut down the show, it was nice to see that Calvin Klein's Fall runway presentation went off without a hitch.

The perfect wardrobe for working women — or the girl who wants to invest in one piece to wear forever — Costa's Fall collection was decidedly modern, with a hint of mystery and subtle seduction. Get the breakdown below.

  • Trends: Textured wool, leather panels, hourglass silhouettes.
  • Colors: Black, bone, red.
  • Key Piece: The poppy-hued, wool-mohair collarless coat cinched with a simple silver belt.

Calvin Klein Runway 2012 Fall

>> Francisco Costa built volume — and a nice dose of structure — into his Fall 2012 collection for Calvin Klein. There was a strong showing of dresses, most of which came full-skirted, long-sleeved, and cinched at the waist. Silhouettes were covered-up and slightly '50s, but pressed mohair, "technical" wool, glazed cashmere, and pebbled leather provided plenty of texture and edge. The result was forward-thinking, ladylike — and powerfully sexy.
