Rosie Huntington-Whiteley led the pack of stylish stars at the Vogue UK dinner editor in chief Alexandra Shulman hosted for Michael Kors. Celebrities and style setters alike were decked out in designs by — you guessed it — the night's guest of honor. Miroslava Duma showed off bold stripes, Laura Bailey opted for paillettes, and Samantha Barks tried out a black bodysuit. Watch on for the details on who wore what.
Louis Vuitton enlisted bloggers Miroslava Duma, Hanelli Mustaparta, and Elin Kling, to appear in a video called "Small Is Beautiful," an ode to the house's small, crossbody bags.
The premise is simple: Schlepping around town with a gigantic tote isn't fun, but carrying a small, functional bag can be. Cue adorable French New Wave-ish footage of Kling riding a bike across a bridge in Paris, Mustaparta taking in the sights via train, and Duma dancing on the banks of the Seine — all unencumbered and light-as-air with their itty-bitty purses.
Kling said in a blog post that the clip was produced during a photo shoot last month. The images from the shoot won't be out until the Spring, but hopefully the video below will tide us over until they're released.
Russia is having a moment. Thanks to Keira Knightley's latest film incarnation as Anna Karenina and real-life Russian fashion darling, Miroslava Duma's latest Fashion Week looks, we can't seem to shake the visions of each of these beauties, decked out in decadent furs, rich fabrications, and enviable jeweled add-ons. That's what our Fall fantasies are made of, as of late. Fortunately, dreams become reality when you couple inspirations with this season's actual shopping options: baroque themes that we saw on the runways at Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, and Balmain now manifesting as a pair of opulent gold trousers or a pair of studded ankle-straps. These finds make channeling that high-society drama with Miroslava's street-styled twist all the more attainable.

To showcase Massimiliano Giornetti's beautiful Russian-inspired Fall 2012 collection, Salvatore Ferragamo has created a short film featuring some of Russia's biggest style stars.
Miroslava Duma, Elena Perminova, and Anya Ziourova star in the one-minute clip, which shows them getting dressed in the collection for a night in New York City, with the Russian band Tesla Boy's song "Spirit of the Night" playing in the background. The trio then heads out to see the band's first performance in the United States, where they run into industry types like Anna Dello Russo and Hilary Rhoda.
All of the clothing captured in the film is available for purchase. A look at the stylish evening below.
