Hermes

All the bits that are fit to print here, in our daily roundup.

The latest designer partnership to make the news isn't a mass market effort. Instead, Rei Kawakubo has channeled what she calls an "immense respect for Hermès' tradition and artisanal know-how" into two capsule collections of carrés, the French company's iconic silk scarves.

"During this joint project, rather than being guided by the idea of the scarf as it is worn, I became interested instead in the beautiful 'artworks' that the designs on Hermès carrés represent, and I sought to change them by adding elements," Kawakubo said. "By combining them with abstract images, we have transformed the carré and created a unique object."

Both collections, one featuring black and white designs and one with colorful geometric patterns, will be available in February. The five black and white scarves will retail for €380 (or $493 at current exchange) at the Comme des Garcons stores in the Aoyama neighborhood of Tokyo, and in New York and Paris. Six color scarves will range from €380 to €1,600 (about $2,076) at the Dover Street Markets in London and Tokyo.

Kawakubo is noted for a number of high-profile collaborations with brands like H&M and Louis Vuitton, but an Hermès product partnership is harder to come by. Perhaps that's changing, though: news also broke today that Hermès is lending one of its scarf designs to the French postal service's annual Valentine's Day stamp collection.

We are constantly in awe of Kim Kardashian's sleek and chic travel style, but there is one particular item of her latest look we are totally coveting: her new suede Hermès bag. The brunette beauty styled a champagne Camilla and Marc blazer with a white silk blouse, black leather pants, and black t-strap sandals after touching down at LAX. She accessorized her textured look with a gold snake-wrap necklace, tousled locks, and her luxe two-toned tote. Channel Kim's noteworthy style by pairing a satin champagne blazer with black leather pants, matching t-strap sandals, and a rich suede tote for a statement Fall-friendly look.

Kourtney Kardashian did some shopping at Hermés in Paris wearing her favorite black leather Valentino jacket ($4,800) and chic black and white tuxedo pants. She toughened things up via these Valentino combat boots ($1,295), then added major luxe via her black Hermés bag. Shop these similar Worthington tuxedo pants ($25), then pair them with your black leather jacket to nail Kourtney's latest look. Wear lace-up boots for comfort and cool, then swap for pumps or sandals for a fancier feel.

Kourtney Kardashian hit a chic high note in green leather Gabby shorts and a black fur-collar coat while leaving The Dorchester hotel in London. Kourtney's favorite textured bottoms made an appearance earlier this month when she paired them with a printed blouse and bright orange tote, but we are equally smitten with this high-fashion look. The brunette beauty styled her textured separates with a sheer black blouse, opaque tights, and black leather ankle boots, then accessorized with a topknot bun, sparkling diamond studs, and her trusty Hermes tote. Re-create this sexy style with these green leather American Retro shorts ($388), a black fur coat, sheer black blouse, and a structured leather tote for your next dinner date.

Kourtney Kardashian showcased her toned stems in a pair of green leather shorts and nude lace-up Christian Louboutin sandals while cruising around Miami. The pint-size starlet paired her textured bottoms and leg-lengthening sandals with an abstract mixed-print blouse, then accessorized with barely there makeup, loose beach waves, and an orange leather Hermès tote. Kourtney's rich leather shorts are perfect for Fall, but we particularly love how she paired her green bottoms with a bright orange tote for a refreshing color combination. Take a cue from this fashion maven and style green leather bottoms with a mixed-print blouse and a vibrant orange bag for a lunch date with friends, then swap the shorts for a pair of green coated J Brand denim ($218) when the temperatures drop.

Isla Fisher was surrounded by a slew of stylish starlets at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund event in LA, but it was her edgy-slash-sophisticated ensemble that really stood out. The actress paired an olive-green button-down and emerald sweater with a black leather miniskirt and lace-up ankle boots while chatting with Hollywood's hottest at Chateau Marmont. A black Hermès tote, oversize Karen Walker shades ($250), and Jennifer Meyer jewels upped her glam factor. Take a cue from Isla and pair a monochromatic topper with a leather mini, black suede booties, and her celeb-approved shades.

Kim Kardashian popped by the Christian Louboutin boutique in Miami wearing one of her favorite pieces: peplum. She paired her black leather peplum top with faded gray skinny jeans, which she cuffed at the bottom, then finished off with a sparkly rhinestone bib necklace and metallic pointy pumps. Of course she didn't leave home without her black crocodile Hermès tote, which added major luxe to her look. Kim's latest outfit is super simple to re-create. Just get a faux or real leather peplum top — a nonleather one will do, too — and wear it with your gray skinny jeans, then finish off with a statement necklace and equally dazzling metallic pumps. Shop similar pieces below to get started.

Olivia Palermo bundled up in a salt-and-pepper mockneck sweater and leather-sleeved blazer by Alexander Wang while grabbing lunch in NYC. She completed her look via black skinny jeans, cat-eye shades, and a posh Hermes tote, then added a pop of flair via red cap-toe French Sole flats and matching nail polish. This isn't the first time we've spotted Olivia working these cool-weather essentials, but we love how she brings new life to each piece by pairing them with different prints and textures. Take a cue from this fashion maven and add a leather-sleeve blazer into your Fall mix. Work it with black denim, a knit sweater, and cap-toe flats for a day of errands, a pencil skirt and silky blouse for the office, then these burgundy Helmut Lang trousers ($370) and black pumps for a night out.

Kim Kardashian's edgy ensembles have us lusting after every piece, including her latest black-on-black travel look, which she took to new heights via mirrored gold Christian Louboutin T-strap pumps. Kim styled a sheer wrap Tom Ford blouse with black ankle-zip leather pants, then upped the glam factor via a crocodile Hermès tote and plush fur coat. She completed her Miami travel style with a gold chain-link bracelet, her signature tousled locks, and a sun-kissed glow. Mimic Kim's effortless glamour with a sheer black blouse, leather leggings, metallic gold pumps, and a crocodile tote to turn heads wherever the day, or night, takes you.
