  • Thakoon Panichgul opened the doors of his art-filled New York studio for a tour, where he revealed that while it's important for him to be surrounded by books and lots of inspiring fabrics, he often doesn't want to look at his own archives. "The past is the past—I don't want to look at it, I want to move forward," he said. [Vogue]

  • Paco Rabanne today announced that it has appointed Lydia Maurer as its new creative director. Maurer, 29, will fill the position Manish Arora had until he and the brand decided to part ways in May. [The Cut]

  • Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have had an incredible journey from their days on Full House to winning one of the most prestigious trophies in American fashion from the CFDA. How did they do it? Part of it was building their brand slowly. "They took time to become part of the industry and didn't expect any special favors," says CFDA executive director Steven Kolb. [Fashionista]

  • Georgia May Jagger is the new face of The Sunglass Hut, but she may well help create visuals for the chain one day. Jagger is a budding photographer, and Sunglass Hut's CEO Fabio D'Angelantonio said the company is "investigating how [Jagger's] passion for photography can come alive." [WWD]

  • Harley Viera-Newton has been selected as one of Target Style's guest editors for June. "I've always loved Target," she says. "They allow people to have fun and dress up and express themselves without going completely broke." [Target Style]

Ray Ban Wayfarers

Ray-Ban Wayfarers Get Painted With Fun

Ray-Ban and the Sunglass Hut have partnered for a fun cause.

Ray-Ban and the Sunglass Hut have partnered for a fun cause. The latter started the Sunglass Hut artist series, hooking up popular brands with up-and-coming artists. One of them is Brooklyn- and San Francisco-based Maya Hayuk. She has customized and hand-painted 150 pairs of Ray-Ban Wayfarers exclusively for the Sunglass Hut, seen below. Starting Nov. 30, you can pick up a pair, retailing for $140, in the Ray-Ban section of the website. I want them all, but that's not so bad because 50 percent of the proceeds will go to the charity OneSight.

Celebrity Style: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Oh how I've missed featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar on Fab.

Oh how I've missed featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar on Fab. Lucky for me, the expecting mommy was spotted at the Sunglass Hut, checking out its new SocialSun Station. I have to say, her outfit is one of the freshest I've seen in a while. The unique blue gathered skirt provides perfect pop against the darker hues, while her crisp navy jacket and black boots provide much-needed structure. Looking good, SMG! I wonder which sunnies she left home with.
