In honor of the US Open Tennis Championships, which started in New York on Monday, Vogue asked designers including Pamela Love, Peter Som, and Eddie Borgo to design tennis balls with elements of their signature motifs. The one-of-a-kind balls are decorated with everything from cloth flowers to rhinestones, lace, leather, and aggressive metal studs. Love shot an arrow through her design ("I have four arrow tattoos, so I thought, why not?" she says), while Som's sparkly entry takes inspiration from a diamond tennis bracelet. Dana Lorenz's Fenton ball, with brass chains and pearls, takes inspiration from Christian Lacroix and the glamorous supermodels of the '90s. A selection of our favorites from the project here in the gallery.

Colored denim is definitely the jean du jour, so for today's Ways to Wear, we styled a pair of bright yellow Rag & Bone jeans three chic ways. We've spotted colored denim on some of our favorite style setters, like Rachel Bilson and Zoe Saldana, and seen this vibrant canary hue grace the runways at Proenza Schouler and Jason Wu — now we're heading to Barneys New York in Beverly Hills to try out the trend for ourselves. Whether you're looking for the perfect transitional outfit or feeling daring enough to try bright on bright, we hope these outfits inspire you to scoop up some colored denim for your own look now.
Kate Moss Tapped For Rag & Bone's First-Ever Ad Campaign

Leave it to perpetually cool brand Rag & Bone to make a serious entrance across the pond. Not only are the British-bred designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright a day away from cutting the ribbon on their first European store in London's Chelsea neighborhood, they're also getting ready to launch Rag & Bone's first-ever ad campaign — starring Kate Moss, no less. Dressed in dark leather wares, hot pants, and fishnet stockings, Kate effortlessly embodies both the Rag & Bone boys' English heritage and the no-frill ethos they have meticulously cultivated since the line's inception in 2002. Wainwright added, "It was just them on a derelict London street — Kate with minimal makeup and Craig [McDean, the photographer] with a handheld camera and natural light." While tomorrow's UK store opening is certainly higher up on the current celebration docket, the brand's long-awaited campaign is set to appear in the September issues of Vogue, Vanity Fair, The Paris Review, and more. Are you excited to see Rag & Bone's Fall ads?

Olivia Wilde Goes Casual Chic in the Soft-Pink Blazer Trend
For her appearance on Good Morning America in NYC, Olivia Wilde opted to get in on Hollywood's latest obsession with soft-pink blazers. The actress wore this Rag & Bone blush-colored tuxedo blazer ($535) with black pants, a dark-gray tee, and matching gray suede pumps. She then accessorized her neck with a double-strand silver necklace. What we love about Olivia's blazer, and all the soft-pink blazers out there, is that it's light enough for Summer and adds a sweet touch to even the toughest ensemble. You can top everything from day dresses and evening looks to denim cutoffs and leather pants. Get in on the soft-pink blazer trend by getting Olivia's exact Rag & Bone blazer now!

Rag & Bone Resort 2013
When Marcus Wainwright and David Neville's Resort 2013 collection reaches stores in November, Rag & Bone customers will be treated to a collection of cable-knit sweaters, floral and sequin suiting, and some very smart outerwear — wool overcoats, leather jackets, and an olive parka included. There are feminine dresses and skirts, too, and though they might be toughened up with leather elements, their inspiration comes from Victorian petticoats. "It feels odd for me to be saying this," Wainwright said. "But all those lace and gauzy layers are really cool."
Celeb Style: Katie Holmes Rocks White Jeans and Fresh Stripes
If you're just pulling your white jeans out of hiding, you may want to look to Katie Holmes to style them up right. Not that we don't think white denim has a place year-round, but nothing feels quite so seasonally chic as a pair of crisp white skinnies just the way Katie Holmes is wearing them out and about in LA. Channeling classic Americana, Katie added a bold striped Madewell tee and finished with a pair of Rag & Bone ankle boots in the perfect Spring taupe. It's an everyday style with a cool-girl feel thanks to sharp color contrast and on-trend accoutrements, like her oversize shades and a colorblocked bag at her side. Feeling inspired?
